Hey,

I would like to hear your opinion about the hands on this vintage Seamaster I'm considering to buy. Are the hands correct or not? I have only seen this ref. with luminous hands but these have none.

Thanks for helping!

The hands are wrong this should have luminous hands just as you stated since the dial is luminous!

Alright, thanks! Does the incorrect hands make the watch 'bad'? I actually prefer these over the ones with lume because these are cleaner looking.

Its bad beceause its not original and therefore less desired to entusiasts.

What ref does the case have?
I would think this dial belongs in a ”fat lugged” Seamaster, for example this 2767 I had before with the same styled dial:

Interesting The ref. of this is 2635-8.

After a little research this dial also seems to have been used in the 2635 case, they are from the same era so Omega probably put the same dial in various cases/references.

Here is one:

Thanks, that's what I thought so too. I think the only 'problem' here is the hands then. Maybe I'll just livw with it os as I said I actually prefer the non luminous hands 😀

Hi @FinnishVintage

I don't wanna add anything more to the watch itself, since hejsam already explained it well, but would like to point to the fact that I think you should read this:

If my eyes are not mistaken, I recognize this background and lighting. I believe this watch comes from Vintage Portfolio / Maximillian, correct?

He has a really terrible reputation around here. Be careful.

If you are looking for a cool Seamaster from the 50s in SS, I recommend taking a look at the sales section here.

A friend of mine had this reference and it was super clean. I don’t think he’ll mind my sharing his photo as it’s a good comparison for you to refer to. I had a chance to buy it from him, but these are a bit on the small side FYI. Side note: Heed the words of warning from @Rudi99. Trust in the seller is an important thing.
