    Dear Omega Forum members.
    I found on local watch website this Sseamaster ref 2849 SC cal 503 serial 18.xxx.xxx.
    Watch dial is fairly well preserved to my untrained eyes but movement seems celan and in good shape.
    Especially there is a stainless steel bracelet I really love.
    What do you think please?

    Price?

    It’s been polished quite a bit so that is a turn off.

    Looks correct to me. The caseback looks to be pretty unevenly polished? As said above, the entire watch looks fairly polished, so count that in. The dial, which is the main part to worry about on these, looks great.

    Only thing I like is that 8220 bracelet. Looks a bit rusty. Hands have major oxidation and right underneath the hands in the center of the dial you can see remains of what used to be. It looks like someone cleaned it up for a quick sale. Where is the gasket by the way?

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    @seakingseaquest: about 500usd without service history. Anw service cost is relatively cheap in my country.

    @ConElPueblo: Thank to OF knowledge base I noticed finition lost on caseback. I also take in account the case back condition (unevenly worn).

    @Fritz: You made me more confident in dial spotting Tks

    @Toishome: the bracelet fascinate me literately

    With the bracelet, that’s not a bad buy.

    Crystal may come from China or Hong Kong I guess.

    I guess it too. Sometime on “phodongho” sellers advertise crystals and bracelets as “Genuine Hong Kong”
