    Cross posted, so if you frequent the Omega forum on WUS, you can ignore.

    So, I am trying to triangulate exactly what I have and I think I have it down...

    The serial is 59.... so that means it should be late 90s to 2000s as Maddox's serial list says 1998 is 56xxxx and it's "within a few years or so."

    He also has the 1152 Speedy Date movement listed in 1998 in 175.0083 cases for the 3813.50 (which is leather). But not in 1999, and in 2000 only for the Japanese version with the blue dial.

    Given the above, and the fact that I bought it second hand from someone with a bracelet but it doesn't have the 375.0083 case (which is the case Chuck has listed for the bracelet version reference 3513.50), can I assume I have a ~2000 3813.50 that someone bought a bracelet for after the fact?

    Or am I wayyyyy over analyzing things? Or did I miss a major piece of data that would change the above?

    Essentially, does the 375 versus 175 tell me more about which reference I have, or does the bracelet say it all? Or, does the difference between a 3813 and a 3513 really not matter at all?

    I wish had papers to tell me which... but alas.

    Thanks for walking me through it.

    The 35135000 is this watch head on a bracelet, but if you PM me the full serial number, I might be able to tell you what the reference is and if it came on something other than that strap...

    Cheers, Al

    It's definitely a 35135000 based on the serial number you sent. 1750083 is the correct case reference for this watch...

    Ok. So I shouldn't assume the 375 case number is reserved for the bracelet. It can be the 175 amd have the bracelet even though Chuck's list doesn't show that combo... got it. Guess this is what happens when you have to aggregate a bunch of different variables.

    Thanks Al, you rock!

    Speaking of rocking, we had that same music center for our son, and he loved it :)

    My girl and the twin boys love it too. They just turned 13 months so they have a little more loving to go.
