    FIRST POST, OH YA !!!!
    I found a box of watches, this one seems to be one of the better ones. I have tried to do some research (reviewed all 72 pages of the fake thread) I have not taken it apart (I don't know how and don't know any watch makers, stores here send them off ) from these pics can someone help me determine if its worth closer look.

    this what I think I know????
    50 - 60's
    Omega Seamaster
    gold filled (cant read Kt)
    US cased (biased on SWISS)
    NON-Omega crystal (no etching)
    box seems appropriate (no papers
    Original hands, dial, case

    my questions are
    1. with these photos can you tell if it is worth busting it open to service and verify movement ??????
    2. who would do such work????

    (I swear the pictures were right on my phone SORRY) IMG_0772[1].JPG IMG_0777[1].JPG IMG_E0778[1].JPG IMG_E0779[1].JPG IMG_E0789[1].JPG IMG_0790[1].JPG IMG_0783[1].JPG IMG_0786[2].JPG IMG_0794[1].JPG IMG_0796[1].JPG IMG_0772[1].JPG IMG_0777[1].JPG IMG_E0778[1].JPG IMG_E0779[1].JPG IMG_E0789[1].JPG IMG_0790[1].JPG IMG_0783[1].JPG IMG_0786[2].JPG IMG_0794[1].JPG IMG_0796[1].JPG

    Hey, looks very real to me. Do you have a local watchmaker; by that I mean a guy who does more than change batteries? He can open it and give you an estimate. Nice condition of the dial!

    I think that's an Australian Seamaster.
