Hey Gang. I just purchased this one for under the $300 mark. I fell in love with everything about the watch. I'm not sure about the reference. A little help on that would be great. My guess is ref. 2503-?, from what I have researched. Since the case back is a Star case company, I'm not positive. My first honeycomb (clous de paris)? dial and first bumper (cal. 344). Not original crown. 馃檨

Ebay BIN for 拢300, came with the BOR bracelet, but I think Im going to sell it to recoup some of the cost, not quite a free watch head. Ref 14761-1.

Got this in december 2018 馃榾 Just back from the watchmaker after some TLC

Omega Seamaster ref. 2937-1, cal. 267 from 1957

A $150 project, it was hold together with tape because of a bad gasket i the back.

Before:

This was an eBay score. Has a cool 70s vibe. Well under the max including service.

Below is a pawn shop find. Purchases with help from the forum. Purchased and serviced for under the limit.
