    You see most cal 333's in post-Jubilee 2500 Centenary models and 'generic' 2515 chronometers. Does the watch have an RG regulator? It has the 'luxury finish' on the barrel and ratchet wheels and I would expect to see either that dial on a 2519 or a generic chronometer dial, so it may stack up. This watch should have a gasket as it was a waterproof model, but overall it l lean towards authentic.

    Erich will know.

    Looks like the Seamaster was added later

    I think that's right. It was probably added by Omega after they started to add the model names to the dial.

    The first Seamasters did not have the name:

    I've seen these with and without Seamaster.

    Take care,

    Is it my eyes or is Seamaster
    crooked? Everything else screams original.
    But I would like to see this one with a loupe
    to see the height of the printing.

    The more I look at this one, I'm thinking this too.

    I'm not a vintage expert by any stretch, but I deal with typography quite a bit. The "Seamaster" in this one doesn't seem right to me at all. In particular, the letters SEA feel like they were re-added later, or traced over more heavily.

    The whole Seamaster portion is on a slant too, by at least the width of the stroke.

    I've perspective corrected the image and added guidelines comparing the rest of the dial text to the Seamaster portion. Follow the two red lines on Seamaster from right to left. Even though it's cursive, that still strikes me as pretty sloppy. Do we have any known-good hires shots handy to reference against?

    Perhaps I'm just paranoid? :D

    Do you have any larger versions of those photos?

    Try uploading from the website instead of Tapatalk. Tapatalk has a habit of shrinking photos down really small.
