seamaster 2577-13 SC

This is my project on this seamaster , it is a challenge but almost there , had to replace the whole main plate as the screw from the balance jewel was broken off and luckily found incomplete movement but with the jewel intact, now hunting for complete balance from 351. 352 or 354 even 344 maybe will work, this watch wasn’t used that much because it broke many years ago and the owner didn’t want to invest in fixing so it is my headache and great pleasure to resurrected this piece an truly one of a kind watch ,so here is my project , kazd hopefully these pictures will be a ok I tried my best ,

I suspect that you already know that this watch is ‘one of a kind’ because the dial has been repainted (poorly IMHO) as some sort of fantasy dial.
That shouldn’t spoil your enjoyment of the piece but it does effect the overall look and value of it.

No offense but the lettering looks like it was done with a fine tip sharpie (magic marker).

Thanks @kazd ,

Since you ask, a number of things led me to believe that your dial is repainted;

As @Harbormaster asserts, the lettering on the face is poorly executed, judging by your photos.

Secondly, in 1950, Omegas that I have come across did not have ‘Seamaster’ written on the dial. It is, of course, a Seamaster and, when it was repainted, whoever did so added this embellishment.

Thirdly, in your photos, the minute markers are inexact and some of them appear to be a little longer than others.
I am also concerned by the lack of subtlety in the inner colour and suspicious about the cross hair.

I attach a photo of my 1950 2577 12,****** cal 351 (not a chronometer) which I believe is in original condition.

I’m sorry I’ve gone on a little but you did ask me why I was suspicious.

That said, it’s your watch and you will enjoy it. Good wishes.
