Hello All - I am very seriously considering buying this SM Calendar BUT I have NEVER seen the word "calendar" above the word "Seamaster"?
Please can the experts chime in - the Seller has offered to order an Extract from The Omega Archives to prove authenticity.
Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Let him pay for the extract. As far as I know, it won't say anything about how Calendar and Seamaster are positioned on the dial so it's useless in proving whether it's a redial or not. I couldn't find another example either. .Do you have any more photos? I think the lugs are pretty overpolished, also.

 

"T" on the dial but none on the hands or ends of the hour markers... Guessing the hands may not be the original. maybe someone whith a better monitor can tall if it is actually in the valley in the markers, as the coloring looks like either gunked-up onyx or dirty lume. Didn't think Omega crystals came with cyclops either. Any more photos?

 

Agreed re: Extract - it is for sale on EBay the Seller is Luxtop - thanks again.

 

Thanks for the expert advice guys! So best to avoid this watch - will post a photo of another one I am interested in ...

 

Is this a better example? Totally different watch I know but I love these 18k Seamasters!

Thanks again for all of your help!

 

Lume matches Ts and no cyclops, so better there. Would help to have a straight-up photo of the dial and caseback/ movement pics.

Why not buy this one from an OF member: https://omegaforums.net/threads/rare-omega-seamaster-chronometer-automatic.39941/

 

Another very nice option available from another trusted member: https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...or-set-in-great-condition-14k-on-steel.41028/

 

What about "CHRONOMETER"?. I've seen it above "Seamaster". Is it also a hint for redial?

 

A 166.064

 

I just bought one of the sparkles from this website. Let me tell you, I love it. It was a gold capped one in almost perfect condition. It was a little smaller than I as expecting but wears beautifully.

 

That reference is not a chronometer. The chronometer day/date equivalence of that is 168.034.

 

I can not imagine the state of the case before the polishing Not an edge to be seen on those lugs.

 

UPDATE: The Seller tells me he is going to show the watch to the Curator of the Omega Museum - interesting times ... will keep you posted ...
