Hey guys,

Any reason the words Seamaster and Calendar wouldn't be on a KO 2627. I am having a hard time finding another example like this and the pics are too poor to inspect the watch too closely but the dial doesn't look too terrible other than it missing the words. Would love your input. (There is also a hairline crack on the bezel)

It's already been sold but it was listed at $235.

These are pre-Seamasters and this is before they started to put Seamaster on the dials. I've owned a couple of US cases ones too.

I think @gatorcpa has some old ads.

Even on the calendar models? Either way looks like it was a good deal...

Love the calendar at 6 o'clock, any reason way it's since traditionally been positioned at 3?

Easier to see?

To be fair, I've seen vintage watches with date windows at various positions around the dial.
