Speechless in front of this my new purchase:
Omega Seamaster ref. 165.024 "Big Triangle" (1968)

 

At my wrist on a sunny day

 

Pictures are talking for you !
Enjoy !

 

Looks great! Any history behind the watch?

 

Nice purchase!

 

Congratulations on a great purchase

 

Nice one

 

Great example of a classic reference... Congrats![emoji41]

 

Amazing watch, great patina. Congrats!

 

Congrats. Even though prices have risen with the heritage of the reference and the relative scarcity, they still seem very attractive compared to 5513 Subs. Enjoy it.

 

That looks lovely.
Is it a re-lume do you think?

 

Absolutely it is NOT a re-lume.
I can bet on this!

 

Speak, Man! Just no drooling

Very nice

 

Mmm, can't see any pin holes at 12 or 6.

 

Oh my God, why are you attackyng me with this sentences? Why are you making my post dirty?
It is world wide known that the pin holes do not always show on original not re-lumed dials and also some dial restorers are wise to this now and incorporate pin holes on their re-lumed dials, so it is no longer a 100% trustworthy way to tell.
Dials must be seen live with a good loupe and with a lot of experience having seen many of both good and re-lumed.

Please believe in me. This is not
a re-lumed dial. Abdolutely. I'm not a newbie

p.s.: let's try to take a closer look at an Omega Seamaster 300 advertisement (about 1967-1968).


and now a very closer look at the dial






finally as I told you before in this reply: "Dials must be seen live with a good loupe and with a lot of experience having seen many of both good and re-lumed."

 

I'm sorry but I don't see why you are getting so upset, this is just a friendly discussion.
I have also see quite a few BT's.

Its only a watch you know, chill out.

 

The same question crossed my mind but I figured, ah well, it looks great and there isn't a need to get knickers in a twist over it.

 

Great watch but maybe you should have posted in "WRUW" rather than "Help, Discussion and Advice" if you didn't want feedback. I too have a Seamster 300 without pinholes. I'm quite sure its the original lume but wouldn't bet on it. I'm not sure a copy of the original advert has enough definition to prove the case either way but i'm sure there are members of the forum who would know the "definitive" answer.

 

Fantastic watch , congrats and enjoy it

 

You're right, it was my mistake to post it here, but I wanted to share my happiness in front of this my new purchase
