Good afternnon everyone,

I would like to see if someone could give me some information on this watch.

 

Hi Siggi,

Welcome to the Forum!

Looks like quite an interesting find. What have you found out yourself already on this watch? Googled ‘vintage Omega Seamaster’ and looked for this model and serial numbers to date and further determine the watch?
The amount of high res pics on this Forum is 1:1 correlated with the amount of / quality of the feedback you will get from its members.
So, if you could provide with some inside pics, that might help.

Happy hunting!

These are the only pictures I have today. But I will add more If i manage to get them

 

Be sure to take a picture of the serial number on the movement as we'll be able to tell the exact year it was produced... So far I can say that it's a 70s watch...

 

I'm in an unusually good mood today so here is a gift. http://naligazone.com/index.php/dat.../25-watch/omega/caliber5/884-cal565-st166-042

 

Payday yesterday, huh?

 

No. I'm not sure why; perhaps I'm coming down with something.

 

Thank you for the gift Am I guessing right that this is a 14 k version of that watch ?

 

Plated im meant to say

 

Judging from the stainless steel back, I think it's gold-capped. Plated would have gold color on the back, too.

 

Nope 14k plated. "plated (20 mic.) with SS case back (MD 166.042, CHF 555.-)."

 

Or I could be wrong.

 

I was thinking the same thing as you. Until i read the link and caught that text at the bottom. I was surprised to see that.

 

Maybe I should have read my entire link, thoroughly.

 

On the strap there is a number 586 - is that for size ?

 

That's the code number for the endlinks.

 

Super, thank you so much for your help

 

You're welcome. My good deed done for the day, it's time I get back to a more recognizable me.

 

Whew!

 

Well I got the watch just now and will take it on monday to see how it looks and runs inside. The watch is absolutly stunning and in mint state.
