New Tudor owner needs help

I just bought my first Tudor Oyster Prince self winding. I hope I got a good deal.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251212120456?...#ht_2374wt_922

Anybody have any info about this watch that I should know?
What year might it be?
Anything at all.
This is my first watch of this caliber, I liked the look and bought it, but know nothing about these.
All info would be appreciated.

" Dial has been refinished and is in good condition."

Terrible refinish, not sure if the person even tried to make it look like the original dial :(

Obviously the dial has been refinished. As far as refinish job, it looks OK. It just has NOTHING to do with the original dial.

$435 was not a brad price at all. ... mostly because 7205 w/ 57s is at least $250.

Remove the bracelet and look up the serial. Deal is ok: as Vlad already stated the bracelet is worth close to your price paid.

The serial number is 344xxx, from what I can find it seems to be a 1962. Is that a good year?
