Hi I am looking to buy a vintage omega seamster, but could anyone help me? I have one in mind but i'm not sure if it is a franken ? Here are some pics: Thanks in advance!
thank you but what do you mean with worn spots? and how do you know that the case matches the movement/watch?
Hoi is saying because the case is gold plated, not solid or gold capped, to check carefully on the edges and especially the ends of the lugs to make sure the plate hasn't worn through to show the base metal. A quick internet search will show you lots of 166.002s came with cal 562s and the (possibly original) yellow gasket is a good sign in terms of originality, if not one of a recent service.
