    6.JPG Good morning to all and greetings from Spain :O)

    I'm looking after this Seamaster but I don't know much about it. The case looks unpolished , the bracelet seems that is from another omega (not sure) , the back case on the picture looks a bit matte but I guess is just from the picture. No chance to get the watch open as the seller don't have tools, is an 861 caliber? Dial looks pretty good on my poor knowledge. I only have an Seamaster Chrono stop so not much experience on Seamaster (I have other brands and I have been collecting watches since some years) . Price I very good :O) and the watch is 600 kms away from my town but luckily I have a friend that lives near by, I appreciate your opinion.
    thanks guys
    David

    It looks nice, what is the number in the bracelet clasp?
    Case back looks pretty good, the caliber is the 861 as you guessed!

    Looks nice to me, the case is sharp and the dial and hands in good condition. Need better resolution on pictures to tell more. If it’s for a good price, buy it and enjoy wearing it.

    This watch is a ref. 145.024 and the case appears to be in very good condition. Better pics would reveal if the case has been refinished or not.

    I don't think the bracelet is wrong. Possibly it's the one the watch was sold with.

    Edit: I now took a second look at the watch and think that something seems not like new in the centre of hour and minute hand. It should be black instead of white. And I'm not sure if there is tritium on the hands or they are completely covered by orange colour.

    I would try to get better pictures.

    you are right on the center of the minute hands it looks white and should be black, may be they repainted the hands? it's hard to be sure as
    I don't have the watch in front of me :O( , thanks for the advice

    I wonder if the hands are replacements... Here's mine, where the hands have faded, as have the Orange on the dial... 20171122_181548.jpg

    Could the white in the centre of the hands be the base colour revealed from chipped black paint, from when the hands have been badly removed?

    That could be also, but I thinks minute and hour hands are repainted as have different color than the orange lume indexes. At the end I changed my mind last minute and I won’t buy it as it’s not convincing me plus I can go where the seller is to see the watch on hands
