Hello ! Well, that reverse panda dial is contrasting with with the condition of other parts. The hour and minute hands are wrong and that case has been polished to death... there's no shape anymore, everything is round... I would be worried about that more than the actual end-links to be honest...
Not beyond a bit of laser welding and recutting the case; but of course the originality is gone forever, the end links are a very minor point unfortunately

It would be very helpful to know if they fit on the 145.016! Thank you!

These links have been filed.

633 will obviously not fit since a 145.022 case is curved between the lugs and the 145.006/16 is straight.

the curved links have to be filed to sit between the lugs as they do on the pics. It easy to spot they a) don’t sit perfectly b) haven’t been filed straight

Well, it looks as if you cut the end links curvature off, it works.

I have this dial (Silver radial dial with fat indexes). But I think the feet are factory 321. So is it a 145.006? Thanks

Hi All,

Ive been an avid speedy lover for some time now and looking to expand into sea masters particularly the 145.006-66.

I’m looking at purchasing the attached 145.006 which has been listed on Chrono24. The dealer has mentioned that the case has been professionally refurbished, which I can see is quite clear from the pictures (please see attached). I would just like to get some opinions & comments on the overall condition of this time piece.

I look forward to your responses.

Dylan

Any response is relative to price…which is?

Edit : but you should probably create your own thread as this is meant as a ‘research’ thread.

Is it
Is it possibly to interchange pushers caps from 145.006 and 145.016? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

145.016 . Judging by the serial number 29***** 1970 year. Prices for them have increased more than 2 times over the past year

looks like the same case and dial configuration to my 321 Seamaster from a couple of years earlier

I’ve come across a couple of double signed Meister dials recently… haven’t seen these mentioned in this thread but presume they’re legit? I think I prefer it without TBH.

(Meister)-- is a Swiss high end store, put his brand logo on watches that were sold in his store.

Fascinating thread. Maybe I could impose on members to help answer a question I have about my Seamaster Chronograph cal. 321 - ref 145.005- . Looking up the serial # (20525760), on Serial Number Decoder (https://serial-number-decoder.com/omega/omega.htm) reported it to have been made in 1963. I’d like to know if anyone has seen a case back with no markings? I look forward to members sharing knowledge and advice.

Thank you in advance
