·Hi there everyone,
I have just joined this forum as I am addicted to watches and love collecting and looking after them.
I have joined also because I would very much appreciate your advice and thoughts on one of my watches. I aquired a job lot of watches about a year ago and amongst them was a Seamaster that was very dirty. My wife did a wonderful job of cleaning it up and it is now in very nice condition. I had no idea that this appears to be a sought after watch until a couple of weeks ago when I decided to investigate what the markings on the back meant and I was very surprised with what I have read so far.
The watch is an Omega Seamaster 300 military watch. It has it's original dial with the small Omega sign engraved in the centre of the glass, the dial appears original with the T in a circle and the dots in the 12 and 6 markers. The crown is a screw down one, the lugs however are not fixed and I have a silver mesh strap on it.
The movement is signed, 24 jewels, marked 552 and the serial number begins with 24.
Inside the watch back it is marked 165 024 Acier Staybrite and HF. The back of the watch case is marked W10/6645-99-923-7697 A/***/67.
with this information can anyone advise me if this watch is real and if so how much is it worth. Of course I understand if this is not possible but i am so intrigued and would love to learn more.
Many thanks in anticipation of your replies. I can supply photos if needed.
Regards,
Mick.
