Hello everyone!

Tell me what model or ref this dial could be.
The movement attached to it is cal267 with serial number 16835117

The serial number would indicate a 1958 reference and caliber 267 in a manual winder. Probably a “no name” Seamaster (a Seamaster without the “Seamaster” text on the dial), but it’s difficult to determine the reference number without seeing the case.

quite impossible to define the reference of the watch this dial was made for.

Those pencil type markers were used on some “Seachero” models which would be a CK2990 case.

How about a “please” and/or a “thank you”, maybe a word or two what your own research has shown?

Would certainly help to know the diameter of the dial…

Hi!
I have not found any Seamaster (Seachero) model on the Internet with the same set of numbers, markings and texture.
The font of the numbers is the same as on the Ranchero, but the numbers themselves are stamped and not drawn.
All Ranchero, Seachero, Seamaster have triangular markers on the dial. Later Seamasters have pencil-shaped markers, but these are models with an automatic caliber.
The only thing I found similar was your wonderful Seachero, it also has pencil marks.
I haven’t found dials with honeycomb texture in such models, only in automatic ones.

Here is the most similar option. But the marks are flat and (like the numbers) applied and not stamped

Were there such models?
I saw some sellers on ebay post: preSeamaster model. I think they themselves came up with such a term.
The design is indeed similar to the 2990, but what is the dial diameter of the 2990?

the most similar reference so far, 2540-8, 34mm case.
There are marks instead of numbers, but otherwise a complete match.

Yes, may be 2990, same diameter
