Just picked up this vintage Seamaster but I'm trying to find more information about it (release year, movement, etc).

 

Inside the caseback will have the model number, the serial number on the movement will tell you the approximate year. Or with the serial number you can order an extract of the archives from Omega which will give you the date it left Omega.

Oh “ please” might have been nice....

 

No time for that, time is money dontcha know ... gotta post the listing on eBay ASAP.

 

Haha, where are my manners?

I wanted to avoid doing that just because I don't have any experience taking apart watches and don't want to risk damaging it.

 

Definitely don't plan on letting this one go!

 

A watchmaker will do it for a modest cost. Take plenty of photos.

 

Maybe something like this: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-seamaster-omega-st-166-0205

 

You are awesome, thank you! I didn't even know that site existed.

 

You are correct, he is awesome. Modest too...

 

Let's not jump to conclusions, @X350 XJR will be along any minute to point out that I linked the wrong watch.

 

I just did some digging myself and that's the closest one I could find. The only difference is that mine came with a metal bracelet originally. I put that leather on.
