    Hi OF

    I have the first major incoming of the new year and will have to let go of some watches that don't get enough wrist time. Up for sale is this nice jumbo Seamaster with an automatic bumper movement and housed in a 14k solid gold case. I bought this watch in late 2020 from a very respected OF member. Here is the original listing. Thanks OF for the space.

    Terms
    CHF 1590 (was CHF 1650) plus shipping at buyer's cost. No returns unless grossly misrepresented.
    Payment through Wise is preferred, or otherwise bank transfer. The watch is located in Switzerland.
    I have quite a few positive reviews here, both as buyer and seller.

    Specifications and condition:

    Model: Omega Seamster ref. 2657

    Movement: Calibre 344, a bumper movement with sub second function. The serial number dates the watch to approx. 1952. The watch works fine, but I don't know the service history. As always, a full service is recommended prior to regular use.

    Case: 14k solid gold. It’s very sharp case for being solid gold (partly thanks to 14k being harder than 18k). Look at the edges of the lugs and the bezel. Sadly the case back has several scratches from past opening attempts (not by me) as well as some shallow dents.

    Dial: Radium dial with 3-6-9-12 arabic numerals. The dial is lightly and fairly evenly patinated. The original radium lume is present in all the hour markers and hands from what I can tell. The 4 o’clock marker lost some, but not all of it. The 6 o’clock marker is slightly tilted, which I only noticed when taking the pictures. But these are minor imperfections that aren't really noticeable with the naked eye.

    Crown: Original signed crown. Shows some signs of wear, particularly it lost its plating around the edges.

    Crystal: Unsigned crystal with micro scratches.

    Measurements: 36mm in diameter without crown, 44mm lug to lug, lug width 18mm, which gives great wrist presence.

    Accessories: Black leather strap and original gold plated Omega buckle (14mm width) that came with the watch.

    Bump. It can be shipped from Germany to the entire EU (with some patience).
