·Hi Forum People!
Sunday afternoon here in Sweden, and its raining outside…
So why not share a recent watch that I manage to win on an auction?
It is an Omega Seamaster 2938-2, the serial nr 15.57 million puts this watch around 1956.
The movement should be a caliber 284?
I didn't have time to ask for more pictures, so no movement pictures or from the inside of the caseback.
The black dial has some issues with the paint starting to peal/fade away,
but I do find the dial combined with the hoursmarkers a bit unusual and charming!
The lumeplots are still there.
I am not sure about the second hand, the color doesn't really match the hour and minute hands.
The crown is a servicecrown..
The bezel, case and caseback looks nice, with nice and sharp edges,
there are of course scratches, but no major damages or dings,
some nibbles on the underside of one lugg.
But the watch is in need for a serious cleaning, and the movement would need a service.
So my questions are:
Do you find the condition of the dial bothering, and might it continue to change?
The second hand - original or exchanged?
The crown - is it hard to find a correct one?
And if you happen to have info or pictures on this reference (maybe with a black dial…),
please do share?
I will post more pictures once the watch has arrived!
Cheers!
