·Hi,
after joining this forum I have been looking for a dress watch as I mostly only have chronographs.Last week I finally bought an gold capped Omega Seamaster.
Since I already own an 1963 gold capped Seamaster chrono and like the design of it I was looking for something similar.
After loosing out on a few auctions and getting the feel for prices I came across something new for me. A Seamaster with Chronometer Certification on the dial.
I thought it looked good in the pictures:
After some research this could be a CD 168022 from 1966 -1969 ? with Onyx (& gold markers ?) on the dials. It also has non lume hands (of gold ?) and they should be original as it is missing the tritium T:s from the dial. It also fit in with the description of a Cal. 564 inside.
The watch finally arrived today and here are some shots of it:
Sorry, lots of pictures and none of the movement. I will take those as soon as I get my watchmaker to open it.
Now I am politely asking for the forums great knowledge;
How does the watch look from these pictures ?
I don`t think it is a redial, but I can`t find the Omega logo on the crystal ? Should there be one ?
The watch works fine and the date moves by pulling the knob all the way out one day at a time.
It needs an new wristband (19 mm) and an original Omega clasp. What type of band should it have originally ?
The watch is supposedly serviced, but my watchmaker will off course check it.
Anything else I should think of ?
Thank you in advance,
Vulffi
