    Hi,

    The watch in question is the 2576 - 11 sub seconds, with breguet type numerals at 9,12 and 3.

    It seems to have a sub dial with minute tracks, is there such a version?
    As I see most sub seconds models either being crossfire or 5 mins tracks, but no minute track marks.

    This model may be pre-seamaster, only has Omega and automatic beneath it.

    Tks.

    -11 sounds late for a pre-Seamaster dial model, those were only 1948-1949 but as above, without pictures it is hard to be of any real use. Mine from that era was a -4 by the way, but there may have been many versions produced simultaneously.

    Post a pic and the serial number, or at least the first few digits

    only have this not so great photo to go on.
    And the sub dial looks likes it has concentric circles and well as the mentioned minute tracks

    I'm kinda hesitant about this one.

    The dial has been refinished and the minute hand has been replaced. Not a bad looking watch, but without much collector's value :)

    How about this 2576-14, any alarm bells?
    On the print, the top down is Omega, Automatic, Seamaster. On some other watches or very close variation I see it's Omega, Seamaster, Automatic.

    Were Omega pretty random with their print notation?
    Thanks

    Looks correct to me, but that dial has been cleaned extremely heavy-handedly. That stark white colour and random spotting makes it look devoid of any charm. Wrong hands too, IMO.

    Good one :thumbsup:

    ...And a good example of how one of these should look like.
