Hi everyone, I'm totally new to vintage omega watches. I recently bought an omega Seamaster 600.
I know it has a 611 handwind caliber. I'd like to ask you guys what you think about this watch and maybe you can tell me some things about is aswell.

Thanks in advance
Arthur

It's a app. 1964 seamaster 600. Probably Plaque Or 40 microns with a 611 omega caliber which probably belongs to a model 136.011. Probably a 34,4 mm case without crown. Movement needs a service. Enjoy! Picture of the inside of the caseback?

plaque is just a fancy word for plated. your omega will probably be gold plated.

Lovely watch! Share some pics when you get it. If you don’t have a watchmaker handy to do the service, let us know and someone can reccomend one near you. If this is your first vintage watch (or more specifically Omega), the oils inside dry out after about a decade, so even if it’s running fine- it’s dry as a bone and needs a good CLA.
Don’t take it to an Omega boutique, any qualified independent watchmaker (not the place in the mall that changes batteries and sells $10 straps) with an Omega parts account can do a service on it and not change out cosmetic parts like the hands or dial, which Omega may to “ make it like new”.

Thanks for the information. I know some watchmakers nearby that sell omega and do maintenance. But recommendations are always welcome. 😀 (living near Kortrijk, Belgium)

I, too, think it looks great! It may be a solid gold case.
Dont think so. Look at lugs.

I did not catch it at first, but yes, I see it now. It looks like steel under a thin layer of gold now gone on the damaged lug.

Whats the difference in lugs when it's solid gold or goldplated?
On the left lug I see a area which looks to be worn to the base metal. Besides that, most 600's where micron filled. I even doubt it if the 600 serie came in solid gold cases.
