Hi everyone!

Just had a very crazy day at work and decided to browse eBay and release some stress by looking at the new Omegas listed. (still looking for a pre-moon 145.022 that I can afford) Anyways, I stumble with this Seamaster and I start thinking "I do need a classy watch that I can look at when shitty days at work happen like today" Well, next thing you know, I'm placing a best offer and boom! It was an automatic buy. Now, maybe I overpaid, (too late to repair that) but I think its a nice looking watch. What are your thoughts? I should have asked for a pic of the caseback but I failed on that.

Anyways, hope everyone's day was good. Almost Friday right?

 

I saw that too! Congrats. I think dial is original but I can't tell and it certainly is a bit unusual. Rare markers for sure. Nice linen-style dial.

Hands have been relumed but not the worst thing to get corrected.

I will wait for more experts so don't take my word for it but I think it's good.

 

Second hand is not original, minute and hour hands are short.
Is there any lume on the indexes?

 

Oh bummer. I actually thought the only thing that was correct was the second hand. No lume on the indexes for what I can see. I still dont have the watch here to inspect it better. I will post some more pics then.

Thanks

 

The seller contacted me and its going to send me some pics of the case back to get the ref #. I think it might be ref 14745 something like this maybe?

 

You are probably correct in your assessment of the reference - as @hoipolloi states, the hands are wrong and should be like on the one you pictured above.

Nice and uncommon dial variant! Will probably look great after a bit of spit and polish

 

Thanks! It really feels good to have learned a thing or two from the forum. The seller sent me the case back pic and yes 14745! can't wait to baby it once I get it. Thanks for all your help guys!

 

A little update. Got the watch a while back and finally managed to sent it to get it clean and service and the correct hands by my watchmaker. However he seems to believe that the dauphine hands without the lume are correct for this watch. What do you guys think? Was I right above with the example of the white dial or could there be a variation for this ref that I haven’t been able to find?

Below the new hands.

Thanks

 

Really hard to say if the hands are correct, but looking at the unusual markers for 12, 3, 6, and 9, they completely go together! Being an unusual dial to begin with, I feel like they’re original and should be kept. Also, it’s stunning - enjoy!

 

The longer stick hands make more sense to me given the shape of the markers. The OVD shows a watch similar to the one you found.

The hands are as the ones on the white dialed variety you posted earlier and as @Dan S has just posted. It would probably annoy me if it was my watch, but if you like the ones your watchmaker put on you should just keep them that way

Still a great looking catch!
