·I just agreed to buty this one - I understand it to be a French cased version but I'm no expert. Now I need to make some space in the watch box! I hope that it looks as good in reality as it appears in the pics!
Incoming!

Funny that you should mention this... as the watch is being shipped from the EU to the USA I suggested that the seller take off the strap. I've heard stories of some exotic leather straps being delayed and even retained by US Customs. I'd hate for the watch to get "stuck" there!

·Wow. Sometimes the proportions of everything seem just right. The case looks in remarkably good condition.
I wonder why the date is in red (I am sure there is a thread somewhere on it if I search).

·Thanks for the comments. Does anyone have any thoughts about why there's no reference number on the inside case back? Is that because it was cased in France?

·Very nice!
French cased indeed. PF was the logo of an important maker of that time.
Omegas with French made gold cases did not have a ref number - at least I never saw one with e ref or case number.
By the way, as fast as I can tell, the number on your back is a serial number: French cases did continue the omega serial cases numbers (11 000 000 and so on for instance), but also developed another kind of serial numbering.
I have not yet been able to get a full understanding of that second numbering. If anyone have a clue, I would be glad to here that!

·It is PF. Sometimes it is called PGF, but even if I am not sure of the maker (as many had PF initials) my researchers conducted to think the G like is not a g but a symbol.

Thanks for the confirmation François. It is being shipped from France so the case origin makes sense. Interesting that they did not carry Omega ref numbers. This looks like a typical Seamaster of that era to me.
