I'm currently scouring the Internet for any info on my old Seamaster. The case was stamped 14701 61 sc. It appears to be gold capped. However, I checked omega's database and the only two watches that have that serial are a stainless steel and an 18K rose gold version. Does anyone think they missed the gold plated one? I've found similar ones online but am unsure of their (or mine's) authenticity. It has a 562 movement. Any information would definitely be appreciated! I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong place, I'm new to these forums!
I can't see anything wrong with it. Serial No, caliber and case ref all tie together for about 1960. I think it's the gold capped version but need better pics of the lugs. The OVWDB ain't the font of all knowledge as we all know so this may be a valid model. Definitely not a $200 watch IMO.
@KIMBER you're all good!! @JimInOz Unfortunately the watch isn't with me at the moment, I will try and post more pics soon. You can kind of see the line where the plating ends in the middle picture on the lug closest to the "R" in Seamster.
Your watch is fine. Omega used list all of the variations for a model on the first or one of the other listings for the model/case number. A couple years ago they cut out a lot of information so that some variations are no longer given. Also some models were never listed to begin with. It is quite incomplete.
Why do you think they cut some information? Was it to limit the perception of "legit" watches to inflate the value of the ones the deemed collectible? Thanks to everyone for the help!
