·Am I incorrect in finding that on the dial of the second watch it says "Seamester" rather than "Seamaster"?

·The first problem I see with Dan's post is he included pictures, and clear ones to boot. Next time no pictures please. Either crudely describe the watches or post links.

·Perhaps even a solitary dial? 😉

·A prototype!
No. I have the prototype and on the dial of this prototype it says "Semester". The prototype was made by Adrian Semester, therefore the name, well known to insiders only as the secret director of the Omega prototyping lab. There exist about 6 different prototype Omegas bearing his name and these are the holy grail of Omega collectors.
So, apparently a fake trying to sell you this watch as the precious prototype, which is in my possession. And consequently for excessive money.

·Make fun all we like, but lately a few of these first-time posting newbies have been pulling some rabbits out of their hats! I'd like to find a few of those gems once in a while!

·Now is a great time to buy as the market is soft, you cannot go wrong on either of those!

·I'd go with the redial with the overpolished case. I've seen those on Instagram and they've been going up in value!

·The black dial. It's perfect! It's shiny! It's spelled correctly! Invest away.

·I am the seller of these watches and I can assure you they are both 100 percent original. I know because I inherited them from my great-great grandfather who told me on his deathbed he never once brought them in to anyone for service, ever, in a million years.

Yes, you're right, I must consider other options. I found another rare beauty, very special!

·If you google Omega Seamaster, you will get many hits, many of them are as beautiful as these. 👍

·This is the rare red ultraman domingo with an omega x rolox (rhymes with bollocks) coin bezel. One of the lugs looks like it has been chewed by a dog with a grill. I would wait until a better version comes up, you may be able to find one on the Private Watch Sales Forum, and it will have been vetted by all the experts from this site.

·I think you should forget about Omega and get the box of Bulova watches that I have listed on eBay. There is an old link in the PSF too. A great deal less than 20$ a watch.
This is a good breeding farm. I need to get rid of them before they breed more watches. I have a 99cent early longinens active today. (or is it tomorrow.) If someone would buy it I have others to sell too. At least most of the Seiko scraps sold so there is a market (mostly) for 99cent Seiko parts. Perhaps you should invest in Seiko watches. (and leave the scrap omegas for those who pay scrap prices for rusted unrepairable watches.)
