Hi Folks, its time again for some questions and my ongoing learning..😗

Looking at an Oldie Seamaster.
I don't know the referens, and don't have any pictures of the movement or the inside of the caseback.
Swiss Made, so the 1950-1960:s?
The dial is not in the best condition, with a "burned" look,
but the more I look at it, It gets better and "charming".
The subdial is scratched..

The case doesnt look to bad either.

So what do you think?

Looks original. I kinda like it but ditch the bracelet.
Does it bump/clank when you shake it?

I second that. Those type of bracelets could damage the lugs probably a safe move to toss it. I like the watch though the subdial is coolio

Dial looks original but doesn’t really appeal to me.

+1 - an early one from the side profile of the lugs.

Good morning guys!
Had some time now searching, and I found some photos of this ref.
A lot of them seems to have the same kind of patina..And they are in the mid 50:s.
And with different layouts regarding the dial?
Is it depending on the year?

Enjoy!

There were many dial variation in every year.
