Seamaster Calendar - only doesn’t say Calendar..

D Duffy

Dear all,
I bought what I think is a very beautiful seamaster date at 6pm. (I was inspired by somebody else’s Hamilton, but that’s another story altogether..). I realise that every single photograph I’ve seen of a vintage seamaster calendar has well, the word ‘calendar’ below ‘automatic’. This one doesn’t. Should that ring an alarm bell (albeit rather belatedly) or was there a year where they didn’t do this? It cost £400, so not breaking the bank, but I’d rather not be taken for a tit.

Many thanks for any insights you can provide.

It has been redialled which is why it looks odd. Simple as that really. The price isn't excessive if you like it, you'd get out down the line with little if any loss.

The watch cost £400, so not breaking the bank, and it is v beautiful… but I’d really rather not be taken for a tit!

Ah yes, the 'R' in my Seamaster dips down too far (your lume is fully in lace - lovely piece!)

Fair bit of patina but it's original and old lol I'm ok with that

I had hoped my seamaster itch was scratched - for a while anyhow. Ho hum….
