    I want to share another of my uncommon watch ( in my opinion). Omega seamaster in jumbo case (36.5mm) with textured dial. Moreover, wording of chronometer was shorter than automatic, also pointed “A”.

    This serial number of this watch is 1,476,9xx (indicate production year was around 1955).
    Caliber of this watch is 354 , 17jewels.
    The caseback reference has 3 numbers as shown in pictures.
    “2657-2494”
    “2521-10”
    “SC”

    I also created another post about the seamaster jumbo with chronometer officially certified in this forum.
    (Using the same number inside the caseback and serial number was different only by “626” , comparing with this watch)
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-...tre-officially-certified.112122/#post-1482253

    I’m not sure about the font of my watch
    (it's hard to interpret due to textured dial style; different style of “S”in the “Seamaster” word)

    What’s your opinion ? (Redial or not?)
    Does someone try to add“ chronometer officially certified“ later to increase value of the watch?

    So sorry, my English is not so good .
    Best regards,
    Teerapat

    Not added, I think. It is a re paint. The omega is too thick, even for a hobnail texture. Which is tricky to print.....kind regards. Achim

    Looks like a redial to me as well.

    The 'Seamaster' looks a bit off. I'd say it's a redial.

    I agree that it´s a redial, but a quite good one and I would wear that watch with pride. :)

    Whoever refinished this dial can paint my car anytime.

    It looks really nice though! The "seamaster" looks really quite straight compared to the mesh of the dial

    I would agree that it is a refinish, but it looks pretty good.

    I think the alignment of the 2 applied markers at 9 o'clock look off also.

    Nice watch though!
