    From what I've been able to glean, there are two movements for 1950s Date@6 Seamasters: 353 and 355. Is that correct? Are there more than those two? What is the difference between the two?

    Thanks all!

    Yes.

    No.

    2. (355 - 353 = 2 :D)

    Yes - the early models from either caliber had square date windows while the post 1953 models had trapezoid-ish shaped windows.
