If you are in Australia, send me a PM for a reasonable priced Omega Watchmaker, if you want. I had a feeling, that this dial would be nice. Well done.
PM’d thanks @watchyouwant

It's likely to be a 2639, none of which were labelled Seamaster.

I would probably value the watch a bit higher than others here, but as everyone else a fair bit lower than $1,000.

2640, methinks.

That would be a better fit due to the screw back.
Thanks

2640 is sweep seconds (cal 28x), 2639 subsidiary (cal 26x). They're identical otherwise.

Interestingly enough, one of my pals in Australia asked for advice about his pal's 2640 a few years ago. There were three 2640s on eBay at the time; all were located in Australia. I wonder if the Australian agent put in an especially large order.

Oh, I didn't even look at the central seconds hand, only the case shape! Happy to be corrected 👍
