Hello fellow watch friends

I found this nice Omega Seamaster from the 1950s on a local auction platform.
Dial and Hands seem to be correct for this reference. Case is in good condition. The replacement crown doesn't bother me much. But whats is your take on the movement? Are the little spots on the rotor and the auto bridge signs of corrosion and do they need to be replaced?

 

What Gator said. If the price is right, go for it

 

Thanks very much for the valuable input. That's what i wanted to hear (or not as it would already be my fifth watch this year... ).
Buy it now is a little bit high but I am trying to snatch it with a smart bet...

 

love your Avatar by the way...

 

I can see if the dial and markers are both gold. Can you confirm.

 

Thank you. When I was choosing my avatar it actually was a tight race with this guy...

the markers most definitely are but don't know about the dial. Maybe we will find out, I am still the highest bidder...

 

Watch arrived, quite happy with it

 

That's made me realise that I didn't know what those movements parts are actually made of. Are they iron or steel which is then plated with beryllium copper? The plating cannot ever rust since rust is iron oxide.

 

Most movement plates and bridges are made of brass (a copper and zinc alloy). Some are made of German silver (also known by other names such as nickel brass or nickel silver) that has no actual silver in it - it is an alloy made of copper with high nickel and zinc content.

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks Al. Very interesting.

 

Awesome dial!

 

Thank you!
