    Was lucky enough to pick up this lovely thing today..

    Movement: Bumper Cal. 354

    Reference: 14350-3

    Wears very well, even at 34mm it has more wrist presence than most Seamasters I own. A really classical looking piece, timeless..

    Watch is in nice unmolested condition.
    I haven't seen many of these and this one has the added bonus of being a textured dial with cross hair! :)

    I popped it on a nice genuine Morellato alligator strap..

    If you purchased this from a gentleman called Morne -

    Check that the movement is properly secured into the case with the little tab.

    Hi Dablitzer, i,m based in the north west (cheshire), but saw the hidden lug watch in a fantastic watchmakers shop in Midhurst, whilst on holiday (Allnutts, who go under www.littlecogs - Absolutely no affiliation whatsoever). But I was just Blown away by the service and the knowledge of the whole team. We were just passing, and they had a fantastic assortment of vintage peices, and about 20 Omegas In the shop window. I got chatting to Geoff, the owner, and as I,d bought a watch already this vacation ( a Seamaster Chronograph, cal 1040, MD 176.007, gold plate in an antique store in sussex), Geoff kindly opened it up for me so that I could inspect the movement and serial number etc. Once inside, We found a tiny bit of rust on the retaining ring, so Geoff kindly cleaned this up - free of charge, whilst we toured the rest of the town. Now thats service for you.

    Will definately be sending some watches his way for service in future

    cheers, Paul

    Gold Cap. The dial has a eggshell patina. Nicer in person. :)

    Nice pair! ::love:: It's nice to see your examples and realise that my case hasn't been polished very much. As, clearly yours have been well looked after! ;)

    Hi Paul,

    I'm originally from Cheshire/Derbyshire in the Peak District, beautiful part of the world. Now I live down south, mainly for work and the weather! Will have to check out those places in Sussex as I wasn't aware of them...

    Cheers

    nice catch! That's a good looking case/dial - and looks sharp on that alligator strap!
