    What's your opinion of these 2 Omega Seamasters..

    Omega, Seamaster, a gentleman`s stainless steel wristwatch, ref. 276715C, circa 1953, the silvered dial with gilt dart numerals, tapered hands, and subsidiary seconds dial, the 17 jewel Omega automatic movement cal 354 no. 13974412, the case 44mm including lugs, on an expandable bracelet; together with another gentleman`s Omega Seamaster of the same date.
    Sorry these are the only pictures on have of these watches. Thanks.

    Need to see an unobstructed close-up of the text on the dial, but it looks a little off. A non-chronometer 354 isn't as sought after as the chronometer version either. If that's your only picture to go on I'd pass on the white dialed watch.

    The black waffle dial looks original maybe. Again, I'd like to see a better shot - especially of the capital "S". That might have either a bumper or a full rotor 50x. Probably a 2757 if it is from 1953. Are they selling that one too?

    The first one: S looks wonky, if it's a redial then it's an old one. It should either have a cal. 342/344.

    I really like the second one, it looks original to me. It can't be a 2757, do you mean 2767 Dennis?

    Actually, both dials look good to me, especially the black guilloche. The one on the left needs a proper crown. The one on the right has the correct style of crown, but it should be gold plated, not steel. Either one would be a nice addition to a collection.

    I don't think you can generalize too much on the shape of the "S" as there were multiple fonts used on these early Seamasters.

    All comes down to the price, I suppose,

    For some reason I don't remember seeing too many examples with that font (the left watch), I'm more used to seeing the right one and the rounded out S. But looking at it now it looks ok, the patina and the aged lume show that it looks original.

    I agree it's most likely and original dial. That shape S isn't common but they pop up once in a while.
