·Hello, I’ve just found this Omega Seamaster. Looking at the strap markings it’s dated 1/65, would that be the rough age of the watch.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

·Maybe start with some humor to lighten the mood, tell her about yourself but don’t overtake the conversation. Listen to her often and just enjoy yourself. Oh, and def pay for the meal afterwards. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

·Advice for dating that true Seamaster 😉:
1. The Boat Comes First: Accept that the boat is like a second member of the relationship. It has a name, it has feelings, and it always needs a new part.
2. Weather Talk: You will spend a lot of time looking at the sky. If it’s sunny, you’re on the water. If it’s rainy, you’re talking about being on the water.
3. Gifts are Easy: Don't buy them fancy clothes. Buy them a waterproof bag or a really good hat that won't blow away in the wind.
4. Learn the Words: You don't have to be an expert, but knowing that the "kitchen" is the "galley" will make them smile.

·The watch could be mid-60s, but one can't date a watch by the bracelet because they were not produced together, even if originally sold together. And there's also no way to know that they were originally sold together. You will need to have the watch opened to see the serial number on the movement if it's important for you to know the approximate year of production.
I suppose that the lumed hands are replacements.

·If you own a boat, save yourself a lot of agro..just stand in a shower and tear up £20 notes!
For everyone’s info, as and ex ferry skipper and RNLI crew member I think I’ve got the ‘Seamaster’ angle covered…😂

·Why such things never happen to me??? 😜
Looks more like 50s to me... Can you open the caseback or post a picture of it?
I don’t have the courage to prise the back off..so will have to take it to a specialist I guess.
It’s working perfectly and keeping time.
Thanks for your advice.

It is definitely a 1960s watch, though.

··Oooo subtitles!It is definitely a 1960s watch, though.
Looks like a chronometer version of the 2846. Not sure if that had a different ref. Probably but it’s no later than 1959 IMO
