Seller sent me some photos of this Omega Seamaster Calendar 2627-5SC,1950s, cal. 353 automatic. I have some question for you about this watch: - Is dial is cleaned? - Minute, hour hand and case are correct from this version? - What's about the crown? - Serial on caseback is 2627-5SC and movement serial is 13008928. - And about cal. 353 automatic, How do you review about this movement? Is it good? ==> Is this watch original? Thank you very much. I show some photos below:
Quick assessment is that dial looks OK, but with very heavy, but pleasing patina. I’m stopping short of saying “original” since I can’t see enough. It would be easier if the hands were placed at traditional 10:08 position, so we can see more of the printing. Hands do not look correct. Slightly too wide and long. Seconds hand too short. Might be possible to replace at reasonable price. Plating on movement is quite worn, although if properly serviced it could still run well. No way to tell from photos. Caliber is correct. Case has been polished as you would expect of a 65 year old watch. This one would need to be pretty cheap to be a good value. It is? gatorcpa
Everything looks right except I agree the hands could be a coin flip. The crown matches the serial and a -5 case. Tom
