·Hi all members,
I would like to share this black waffle seamaster chronometre with larger case, approximately 36.5mm excluding the crown and 39.4 mm including the crown (larger than usual seamaster which is 34.5mm excluding the crown).
It was omega triple case reference 2657, 2494, 2521-11sc. The serial number was 14,313,xxx using the cal.354 chronometer.
In my opinion, the case was some polished but still okay. The black dial was original and in good condition.
The applied hour-markers were original.
The movement and caseback were correct.
At first, I concerned about “the gap” between the edge of the dial and the outer edge of these markers (as marked by the red and green arrows).
Normally, the applied hour-markers in the larger case will apply near the dial’s edge like this, as I reviewed it here:

I compared my watch to my friend’s omega ref.2577-22 with original black chronometer in the usual case size, please see the smaller gap under the word “Swiss Made” (red arrow) and smaller gap next to the markers (green arrow)
However, from my research, I can find only one watch which look identical to my watch. I found it in watchcharts.com and it’s owned by my friend in Facebook.
Please note that rotor of that watch might be incorrect.
I compare the font between both of them.
Finally, I took the picture from the backside of the dial.
No indication of the applied markers having been removed and re-glued.
Also, I marked both of the dial’s feet.
I would think this black dial is original.
Finally, my wrist shot:
(Not easy to take a good photo from the black waffle dial)
Thanks for watching and comments.
Please share your opinion, why omega use wider gap between the edge of the dial and the outer edge of the hour-markers?
Best,
Teerapat
