I think it’s a 2767 with probably a 354 bumper movement. It’s not a 2848 since that’s the sub-second case reference. It could be a 2846, but the case back style looks more similar to a 2767 than a 2846.

It looks nice to me. The dial is pretty nice and the case looks sharp. I’m not a fan of presentation case backs, but if you don’t mind, then it seems like a good deal.

I didn't think the bezel was big enough to be a 2767 but you may be right and the photos just make it look a bit thinner. Could also be a 2577 at this rate.

You can tell the difference between the 2846/8 and 2767 on the sides of the caseback; there is a groove/lip along the side on the full-rotor Seamasters that isn't there on the bumpers with snap backs which has a flat side:

From here.


The above 2767:

Until someone shows me something that ruins yet another of my theories, this is how I differentiate between the two 😁

So the expert consensus is 2767? I found the indent for cashback removal but someone stuck it at 12 o'clock so it's difficult to access

So I had a few minutes to mess with this old girl. 2767-3 cal. 354 with a serial number in the 13 million range. Would this put it somewhere around 1952?
