In Response To: Re: Where exactly should this red dot be? On all S ()

I just got my, 2531.80. The red dot is at 6 o'clock position.

: It is on the seam where the case back meets the
: body of the case. It acts as a seal which
: breaks if the case back is opened--so it has
: to be *across* where those two meet.

: Not sure about *all* Seamasters, but mine has
: it at the 6 o'clock position.

: Checking it is valid only on a new watch that
: has not been worn much--such as right out of
: the box. Remember, this seal can come off
: from normal wear. Though it is possible for
: the seal to stay on for years, too. Just
: don't panic if you have had your watch a
: while and don't see the seal on it now--it
: may have worn off over time.
