    Hello omega forum. Im currently looking for vintage version of current seamaster 1948. Does anyone know its reference ? Preferably with newer manual wind movement

    I found this on ebay cal 410 ref 2759. But not sure how good it is. Movement looks dirty. Anyone can point me buying vintage seamaster guides? Thanks for your help!

    It's the reedition of the 2576 if I'm not mistaken

    Your closest will be a 2576 bumper (late 40s to early 50s) or a 2848 full rotor (from mid to late 50s). The case design on the cal 410 is very similar as well, just a manual wind rather than automatic.

    We need better pictures to tell much, a head-on dial shot and inside caseback.
    I can't say it's bad but I sure can't say it's good.
    Can the seller provide more photos?

    Are those homage Seamasters the same size as the originals? I never saw one way or another.

    Thanks

    Ok, look at the markers on the seconds subdial of the black watch..
    Does the marker at 12 go well up the step while the marker at 6 is back from the step? Don't all the subdial markers look off-center?
    This clearly would indicate a repaint and relegate the watch to (maybe) an attractive wearer, but not collectible.

    I wouldn't have notice, it does look slightly off center. Thanks for the insight!

    The re-edition is 38mm, seems like most seamaster in 50's and 60's are 34mm
