Hello , looking for some help to identify this watch please. I have inherited it , i have searched and searched online but have yet to see another the same with even numbers only , i have not removed back yet
Many thanks

 

In my opinion a very nice vintage Omega Seamaster with honeycomb dial. Maybe caliber 471. You realise that to get more details you will have to open and search for the reference number from inside of the case back.

 

Thank you for getting back to me , the watch is working perfectly as well !
I will need to read up on how to remove the back without causing any damage
Thanks

 

Sorry i ment to say
I have not seen another exact same number layout

 

Looks like a 2577 bumper from the early to mid 50s. Movement is probably a 351 or 354 or similar. There are dozens of dial variations so it’s not surprising you haven't found another similar. It looks perfectly normal to me. Arabic number dials were more prevalent in the uk market it seems, but they are seen elsewhere too. If it is from the UK market, it might have a local Dennison case. Taking the back off will tell all.

 

Thank for that reply , i will get the back off and see what i can find

 

Something about that number “10” and the “Seamaster “ script just look off to me.

 

I will take another couple of photos
I no what you mean about the
Seamaster writing looking at it in the photo
But it was my fathers and has been in a box for at least 30 years that i no off
But i cant garantee anything at moment until have it opend
And i will take photos and get your opinion
Thanks
I have spent last 2days trying ti find a
A watch with the same face layout
Honeycomb and number the same

please excuse me . I am no watch specalist in anyway shape of form !

thanks for help

 

Maybe think about finding a qualified watchmaker to open the back case for you. After 30 years it would need some TLC.

 

Dont worry ,no way would i attempt that
I can go into edinburgh to a specialist

 

Well that was simple
Excuse my photography skills /lack off

 

2577 is the reference. Movement is a 354. The serial dates it to early 1950's

 

He knows I told him 5 posts back

 

Yes you were correct , i done as you said to clarify and took back off

 

I was just messing with Mark. It’s a nice thing and clean original waffle dials do command s premium over the plain ones.

 

Lovely. Please take / send to a competent watchmaker to have it cleaned and serviced. Do not ask for it to be polished except for the crystal. And perhaps put it on a nice new leather strap and it will be a stunner!

 

Thanks for all the help guys
If i am truthful i will sell the watch
Were would i get valuation ?

 

You could go to a jeweler with experience of vintage watches and pay for a valuation, or you could look on Ebay with you new found knowledge and look up sold listings there. For what it's worth this is the kind of watch in the kind of rough/original condition where I'd be a buyer at or around €450 with a service/parts/strap in mind

 

Or maybe see if there are any collectors' forums that you could join with a view to alerting members to your watch, in the hope that one of them will make you an offer for it?
