1953 Omega 36mm 2657 Seamaster - With A HOBNAIL Dial - In Beautiful Condition And Serviced

Good day all. Up for sale is a very special watch. If you want something unique, very collectible, and also very seldom available - then you'll want to look at this particular Seamaster 2657 because it is very beautiful and very difficult to find. This stainless Seamaster 2657 has a 36mm case, dauphine hands, rose gold furniture and a stunning two-tone hobnail dial. The case appears to be unpolished, has drilled lugs, and the correct Omega crown. The 1953 caliber 344 bumper was completely serviced from my watchmaker on 6/20/2024. All worn parts were replaced and the service paperwork will be included with the sale.

About Me

I'm an avid collector of vintage Omega and I've got a soft spot for JLC as well. I've been a very active member of Omega Forums since 2018 and I'm one of the organizers of the annual Omega Forums Mid-Atlantic G2G (now going into its 5th year!). While I'm generally more of a buyer than a seller, my past buyers have been very satisfied with our transactions:

I have also sold watches and watch related accessories on eBay under the username gbesq with 100% positive feedback for more than 20 years and I can provide references from my buyers on Chrono24 as well. I value my reputation and what you see on my listings is what you get. If you're unhappy for any reason, I'll make it right.

Reduction from $1,950..😀

Bump. And a hobnail dial too. 😃

Bump!

Bump! Here are a few additional photos.

To my knowledge, there are only three vintage Seamasters with hobnails dials that are currently for sale. My 2657 is in beautiful condition, recently serviced with the watchmaker’s paperwork, and asking $1,950 including shipping and insurance. The other two Seamasters are asking $2,898 and more than $3,300. The only reason that my 2657 is for sale is because I have two other hobnail’s that I’m keeping.

Bump!

Bump! A vintage Seamaster with a hobnail dial is rare. A really nice one that is also recently serviced is very rare. Get it before it's gone.

Still available. 🥰

I know it’s bad form to post criticism in a sales thread. I’ll do so anyway:

Greg is a bad photographer.

There, I said it. 😁

I‘m the previous owner. I know how it looks in person, and it’s a stunner - so much nicer than it’s depicted here. The price is great, too.

I’ll give it a week. If it’s not gone by then @gbesq I‘ll buy it back from you at your 1950$ asking. Seriously.

LOL. Geez, and these guys are some of my friends! Well, it's all true. Unfortunately, I can't say that my stroke had anything to do with my poor singing and/or terrible photography. Fortunately, MtV and Duracuir! have come to my aid. They know that I'm offering a stunningly beautiful Seamaster 2657 (just ignore my photos) at a very attractive price. I'm a trusted seller on OF and you won't be disappointed. I sell only the best. If you're not happy, you can return the watch to me and I'll return your money. No questions asked.

Here is a video of the Seamaster 2657.

I've also seen it in person when it was still MtV's. Stunning watch at very fair price.

Thanks for this. I still have it listed for sale, but I will probably withdraw it since the current market is so slow.
