    Good, because I just bought it. :)
    I was just worried about the dial and the "SWISS" only mark. Still new, but crazy enough to buy on a whim.

    Nice! It's a US made 14K Jonell case - which explains the SWISS instead of SWISS MADE. Looks like an original finish on the dial too.

    the seller really was a good guy. And I have his card for future purchase. Thank you for ensuring my trust in the seller.

    Looking to date the watch, I went to Omegaphilia web site and it does not show a cal. 500 with the Seamaster in any year. Is it due to the US made case?

    Certainly a lot of the US cased watched are not in the omega vintage database.

    There are many Seamasters in the official Omega database with 500 caliber.
