    To say anything much about this watch, we will need a picture of the movement and the inside of the case back with the case reference number.

    I´ll try to take the watch to an Omega repair center to see if they can open it. So I can take the picture of the movement.

    It's vintage. It's a Seamaster. Probably from the mid 50's.

    Okay, seriously - does it feel like a coin is bouncing around inside the case when you move it around?

    Likely ref. 2577 with cal. 354 non-chronometre movement. Case polished (but not misshapen) and dial is original and textured.

    I think it's most likely a Ref 2577 with Cal. 354/351, but opening the caseback will confirm what it really is.

    It could also be an early rotor automatic, cal. 500 or 501, although more likely to be the bumper auto as Kyle and MSN say.

    The question is whether it is 14K or 18K gold. The hallmarks aren't sharp enough in the photos to see the Queen's head or squirrel hallmarks.

    Case looks pretty sharp to me, maybe just a surface polishing. The lugs were left alone.

    Nice one :thumbsup:

    With a magnifying glass we can see a Queen's head and a B.

    It's 18K gold with a bumper movement.

    I'll go with a Ref. 2577, cal. 351, simply because the seconds hands is blued. This was done more on the earlier watches.

    Dial almost exactly matches the picture on the web link above.
