1959 Seamaster Automatic Cal 570 2991 Ribbon dial. No pictures of the inside. Back of case looks like it’s been through it. Thoughts? BIN price is $650

This is a mid-sized watch back in the day, more of a ladies’ model today or for men with very slim wrists at a diameter of 31.5mm, compared to most Omega dress watches it is very small. Thats why it has a Cal 570 which is an unusual calibre with smaller diameter and the proportions look a bit unusual.

Price would be OKish IF it were a full size reference, too much for a mid-size, like the alpha hands though.

Ooh, for a lady I like it 😜
However I see no lume on the dial even though the hands are lumed, also those scratches on the back aren’t too great…

This is OK, the opposite wouldn't however.

I think it’s there at the ends of the indices if you look really closely.

I personally love this dial pattern.

Is there any difference in height between the stripes, or does the pattern come from brushing effects ?

For some strange reason with these mid-size ref's there is quite a high probability that the seller will have 'forgotten' to mention the case size....🙄
