Nice daily wearer if runs well. I love that "bump" when you wear these.
Please post more pictures when you get them.
The inside caseback and movement shots will help us, would also like to see a straight-on dial shot.
Redialed at some point but not unusual.
Nice watch!

I’d guess a 2576. Love those Breguet numerals. 😀 As stated above, it’s been redialled at some point - in 1949, one of the earliest years of Seamasters, it wouldn’t have had the model name on the dial. Still, if the price is right it might be a nice wearer!

1952ish, movement looks dry but good to me.
Get a service and wear it the rest of your life!
Not a museum piece but a great watch to enjoy.
I love the bump.

Before I forget I think something is missing inside a spacer ring of some sort ? The movement has a bit of play. Happens when it’s tilted also when the time is being set . Is there supposed to be an insert of some sort that goes in the back or somewhere? Or are there screws that keep the movement tight ?

Case mounting screws that you seem to be missing!
Easy fix during service.

There is a little pin in your movement plate that fits in a notch inside your middle case. Then there is one special shaped case clamp and one screw ( empty in your Mvmt.) , That tightens the Mvmt.
