I wonder if it is normal for an Omega case to have more than one code stamped inside the back?

I am a newcomer to the serious watch world, looking for a usable everyday automatic. I have seen a number of Seamasters with this arrangement - all of them chronometers. There are at least 3 listed on the bay of dreams at the minute, 2 from the same seller.

Hopefully the photos will make the question clearer.

Thanks for any advice and help.

 

Yes, common...

 

Thank you.

I see the one on the left in your post is the same though. The ones I have posted differ.

Checking the code references on the Chuck Maddox site they codes don't contradict. It just looked a little odd to me. Perhaps this is a way of conveying additional information within the limits of a 3 figure code? In this case, chronometer and date function?

 

it's not the same.. it's from 165024 to 165024 SP !!

 

Ah. I missed the letters. As I said - new to all this.

 

Wow.

So - more than one code number is not a show-stopper on a potential purchase, then?

 

No, if the movement caliber is correct for one of the references. There is many Omega's with two references in the caseback.

 

Thank you for your help. Very kind.

 

Thanks very much for the explanation - very clear.

I have to say the more research I do, the dumber I feel.
