Hello everyone A friend called me today saying he had a Seamaster he had never seen before. I made some "extra fast research" to know a little more before pulling the trigger though there were a few flows. No gold bracelet, a date disk to be changed (no big deal, I already ordered one from Omega). Some engraving on the back that I may have filled by a goldsmith. the gasket is completly melted with age but the movement is clean even if I'll make a service. The good points are that the edge are quite sharp, the dial pristine, the hands too. I've been searching for a long time for a nice gold watch and I really had a crush on this one. I'll probably put a nice chocolate alligator bracelet on it. I must have a gold buckle somewhere in my drawers. Sorry for the bad picture it's night and dark. Some others pics tomorrow. According to Desmond's website these seamaster were only produced at 1000 example all gold version included (rose, white and yelllow). It's probably one of the rarest Semasters.
Looks great. Might consider black gator to match the onyx markers. And I would not touch the engraving. Congrats!
Nice watch, love the glitter dial! Personally, I’d leave the engraving, it’s part of its history. Come to think of it I’d keep the French days as well - adds a little je ne sais quois
Hello rob I'll keep the french days because : I'm french, and according to the gold hallmark it's a swiss version. The dial is a 18k too. I saw smowhere that it had been made with TT and without. Mine has dots and TTs. Today I'm cleaning the case because these metled gasket become some very nasty glue. They feel like tar I'll make a very light polishing. the dial out of the case put carefully in a box, stunning condition.
