路Thats a really interesting watch.
It looks like a ref. 2767, but it is the first of these that I have ever seen with a chronometer-specification. It's from the early fifties, probably 1953 or so.
Very cool and a pretty uncommon watch both now and then 馃榾

路Sorry I'm not very technical savvy and posted twice by mistake ! We, myself and sons, have spent hours on internet trying to find similar face but only thing we found was constellation face that looked similar.

路路I don't see any option in settings or profileSeamasters with "chronometre" and "officially certified" text are uncommon, and even if the dial is tainted, they represent considerable value, much more than "ordinary" Seamasters. Your watch can probably be repaired, but please do have in mind that if the dial gets repainted, it will be unattractive to collectors and will not bring the same amount, should you wish to sell it - which I hope you will not!
Other members of this forum will know more than I do, but Simon Freese would be a safe watchmaker to ask.

路Thanks everyone for all the info and advice. Attached some better pictures. I don't think there is loose luminous material, was just a bad photo by me! Will take the collective advice, get it serviced and working, new strap, polished crystal and learn to love the creme br没l茅e ! Will post the finished product and will ask watchmaker to take photos of the workings for info.
Many thanks .
Many thanks .

I'll take that bet too 馃槜
If it was a full-rotor movement it would be a pretty epic franken 馃槑

I found a few other chronometer rated 2767s by the way, one of which used to be mine

路2767* and it could be late 13* as well.

The old Omega logo is the interesting part, IMO. Never seen that on a 2767, but then again I didn't even think they came as chronometers until I googled it because of this thread 馃槵

Waiting to see if there's an O-ring sealing the caseback . . . only a photo will tell.
I'd forgotten there were chronometer-rated 2767s. Don't come across them every year, much less every day.

The caseback on the watch in question hasn't got any grooves for a caseback tool, so it has to be a snapback - that to me means it should be a 2767. I've been wrong plenty of times before though 馃榿

You're right. I was going by the appearance of the case and dial and missed the tell-tale clue on the back. Ref 2767 should be nearly identical to 2577 but with an O-ring to assist sealing instead of a threaded caseback.
Best,

Has anyone been in touch with Simon recently? In May, I arranged to have a watch serviced with him in June, and then everything went quiet and all subsequent emails and calls have gone unanswered. I hope he is ok, apart from anything else. It would have been my first time using him, and I would still like to do so.
