This is an exceptionally uncommon Omega Seamaster and what do you think about it?

A friend of mine has shown some interest and he would like to know, what Omega bracelet will go along with it, even though I think a leather-band looks good enough for the watch.

Thank-you.

 

First, it isn't a Constellation - it's a Seamaster.

Second, it's not that uncommon - many of us own them in varying metals.

Third, it's not a badly refinished case and an original dial. The caseback is a bit polished, and opinions will vary on how far is too far.

I'd say he should be prepared to go $650, give or take. Gold capped is the least expensive of these models. If it were stainless it would sell for more.

 

Here's one option for bracelet -

 

I know I don't get out a lot but that is the first cyclops I have seen on a Seamaster

I am terribly sorry, for thinking it is a Constellation. I must have been half-asleep or probably, my eye-sight is impaired, since the 'Use By Date' is long over.

I shall inform my friend, your opinion about the watch.

Thank-you.

It looks good on bracelet, too. Surely, my friend will be happy to get the watch and later on, source for a nice bracelet, like yours. However for me, I always love a watch with a leather-band.

Thank-you.

I think, my friend should concentrate on getting the watch, first. Only later on, he should source for the bracelet, since getting an excellent condition bracelet is not going to be easy. It appears I am amongst those few who do not fancy a bracelet, while there are many others, who prefer to wear their vintage-watch with one.

I think so too, the seller is a respectable eBayer.

Thank-you.

 

My 750 has one. You can't get the correct one now, so despite mine being scratched to *@#k, I spent two hours sanding it down with papers from 640 grade, all the way to 1 micron lapping paper, then finishing off with Polywatch.

 

Dear Respectable Member Seamonster,

For your reference, here's my "pleasantly purchased barn-find" 1971 SS 168.023, cal. 751 on original SS bracelet 1069 with 524 end-links, purchased at $750. Non-cyclops


Thank you

A 'barn-find' is always exceptionally desirable, since it comes in virtually unmolested condition.

You are one of those lucky few.

Thank-you.
