I recently asked for help to ID a 1960's Seamaster, and after feedback is was identified as a "Speedmaster Companion". I thought it would be good to document the piece here for future interest. It was just received today and is now being sent for service. Omega Seamaster / Speedmaster Companion Case ref 166.002 Cal 565 Serial number 24239715 https://theoandharris.com/collecting-episode-5-ill-have-mine-rare-hold-the-cost/ Buddman
So your the one who took this out of my reach Dial looks better in your photo's than the auction house ones. It looks almost grey in yours. Congrats. Oh what is the dial diameter now you have it in your hand? Cheers
The dial has not faded. It has a gun metal sunburst finish. Great watch!. What auction are you guys referring to?. Here are mine:
Ok, good info on the dial colour. It was sold just at a local auction house in the UK - Mellors and Kirk. They had about 50 watches auctioned with estimates about 15% of actual value. Either they didn't know what they were doing or they cleverly attracted every watch buyer in the UK. I'm normally reasonably successful at auctions but here I got only 1 of 6. They had a Heuer Carrera that went for £16k plus fees...
