Hi, I need some help with this watch, I know it is a Omega Seamaster and it's from around the 1960's, but I would like to know more about it, thank you!
It's been "creatively" re-dialed.(non-original) Bezel and case look authentic and original Caseback has quite a bit of wear. Bracelet is nice looking but not original to the watch An Original Dial should look like this.
Absolutely not. Way too expensive What is your objective with this watch? Selling it for the most money? Or something else?
I would like to keep this watch, it was a gift from my grandfather to my father and a few days ago my father gave it to me, so is special to me.
Ok, great. So is it important that the dial is re-done? If you don't care, then just find a competent watchmaker to give it a complete overhaul if that hasn't been done in the last 5 years. Expect that to cost $175-$250 if the movement needs no parts The dial that is original to this watch do come up for sale frequently on ebay. Expect to pay about $600 for one in mediocre shape, but authentic and would fit the condition of yours. One just sold on the 21st, here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ome...968353?hash=item1a0e0e4ea1:g:PuQAAOSw~OVWwNUjPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
If you post a separate thread asking for a recommendation of a watchmaker and give the area where you live I sure you will get some suggestions
Wow it's quiet expensive, I think i'll have to save money for a few months, I really want to give the watch a full restoration. Thank you so much, you've cleared all my doubts and question, appreciated.
Set an ebay search for yourself and put in the keywords: Omega Seamaster (300,165.024) dial (select Worldwide) Feel free to PM me here if you find one when you are ready and I can authenticate it for you. Good Luck You have a very nice remembrance of your father and grandfather there in that watch.
Alright, that's good to know, I'll search and see what I can find and I let you know, again thank you so much for the help pitpro!
