    Another day, another patinated 50s Seamaster looking for a new owner.

    Or I could pretend to be an overly ambitious dealer and call it a spectacular crème brûlée-style waffle dial, framed by shiny cake shovel indices, with a set of beautifully aged dauphine hands that elegantly, yet relentlessly spin their way around the dial. :D

    But really, this is just a pretty cool, visually very aged watch with a structured dial that had a full service give it a new life.

    Condition


    Dial & Hands: Original dial, heavy patina all around. All the writing is there, including the Swiss Made, see close-ups. Indices are in good shape and sparkle in the sun, hands show heavy degradation.
    Case: Original 34,5mm stainless steel case in ok condition. Nicks all around, looks consistent with the dial. I’m not one for polishing so I’ve left it alone. Caseback shows some pitting, likely from a NATO-strap, Seamaster and Waterproof writings are fully intact though.
    Crown: Original, new Omega crown which is correct for the ref. Omega-logo on the crown clearly visible.
    Crystal: Original, new Omega crystal.
    Movement: Original cal. 501 automatic in clean condition, serviced this month. The receipt for the service will of course be sent along with the watch. Accordingly, it sets, winds and runs great
    Strap: Used, dark brown strap as seen in the pictures. If you like I’d be happy to include a brand-new, black calf leather strap, too

    Plenty reviews available here, but either my username is too short to use the search function for that or I’m not handling the forum software eloquently enough, which is entirely possible. Anyway:
