Oh, I understood Hoi's query, Bill - just adding another example of hash mark dials to the pile.
😀
Here's a dial macro of a ref 2576 I owned for a while . . .
. . . without 'Seamaster' script. Early cal 343 movement, too.

·Hi @hoipolloi
I sent your pic to Omega and asked for more information. This is what they came back with (sorry, I inquired in German, so they replied in German), but the watch you're hunting has the ref CK2518 with a cal. 343.
EDIT: Shoot, I just realized that I may have done a cheap short-cut. The whole fun was perhaps all about the mystery of the unknown. Sorry for that 🤦

·I just received this Omega, and came across this thread. I think it is an early Seamaster, serial number dates back to 1948, cal. 342 bumper automatic. Looks very similar to the one hoipolloi posted in first post. However, bad condition, broken glass, missing secondhand, wrong crown (I think), relume?!, movement needs good service.
Do you guys know why the casebook has two ref. numbers? 2576 & 2491-1.

·Same case was used for two different movements of the same diameter. In this case, 340 vs 342.

·Hi @hoipolloi and other members.
I am not sure , is there any discussion about this watch (pic from AJTT) about this first “Seamaster” written on the dial with a center seconds. Caliber 28.10 RA SC-350 in ref. KO. 2494 from 1949.
Is it possible?

·Obviously it's possible, they showed a picture of it. Not sure how many of them were made, probably hard to find.

··Sunburst dial fanI have a 2577-4 from 1949 which has no Seamaster script. 11.79 serial. Wrong crown but the rest is straight. Terrible pic
For some reason I don’t seem to have followed this thread but after seeing @padders 1949 2577-4 bumper Seamaster I thought I’d post mine
The first photo is @padders' from much earlier in this thread ……
My 1950 2577-4 wristie
………. and a couple of more technical-ish shots

·@hoipolloi
just found on Instagram. Railtrack and leave hands but not chronometer certified. I’ve asked the owner for the ref. and will update. I assume it’s a 2576.

·Hi all,
this one is a bit out of left field it’s a ref 2635-6. Omega website classify it as a seamaster. This one is from 1950. Snip below from omega archives. It has a top hat crown in the photo too so the theory about the specific crown doesn’t hold water, parson the pun.
The dial layout and hand set are a bit different but I’m assuming that’s because this is a -6 and each variant had a different dial and hand set config.
