Help Identifying Vintage Seamaster

Hello.

It’s the first time I post here and in all honesty, I know nothing about watches but I figured this could be the place to help me. It’s something I inherited, so I really am not in the world of watches—I know little to no terminology, and I truly hope the pictures I upload are enough. So, for starters, thanks in advance for being patient with my request.

I got my hands on a vintage watch passed down to me and I’m trying to sell it. I’ve tried to make my research but I just can’t find exactly this model anywhere, and it would be lovely if someone could tell me what exactly I’m looking at. As far as I know it’s an Omega Seamaster Calendar 2757, but I don’t know if there’s any more specific information I can get so I can have a more exact pricing.

Also, I’d really appreciate if someone could let me know approximately how much I should be looking to get for this watch. I don’t want to get scammed, but I’ve seen a very wide range of prices.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

It’s a mid-50s Seamaster, cal 355, reference as you mentioned.
There were plenty of dial variants, you won’t need to find this exact one really. Make sure to check eBay for sold items to see what they actually go for, asking prices are blown up and there’s often a reason why a watch is still available. Also factor in a dealer will get more than you will; and that steel watches are more valuable than gold-capped.

To give you a rough idea, with the damage on the gold-cap of the lugs, the replacement hands and the discolored dial I’d say you’ll be looking at 300-400€\$\£, the latter might already be a bit of a stretch. Just take some good pictures in natural daylight and from all angles. Have a watchmaker in your area open it to take pics from the movement and the inside of the case back. Put it on eBay, write an honest description, let the market do its thing. It’s the safest way not to get scammed and to get a fair price.

Thank you so much! You’re a real life saver. I’ll make sure to follow those steps. Honestly you have no idea how lost I felt, but this will work wonders! Thanks again.
