Here are a few pics of a recent acquisition that's a marvel to see. Now having had a chance to hold, thought to show what I've got so far. Hope this also answers some questions which I typically get on these DDs

This always grabs attention. A lovely Dial, this the fabulous 'sparkle'
Note the Omega logo in center of the crystal

And curled S on Seamaster ...




Dial patina seems consistent, even. Lume plots properly placed I think and also show similar consistency/colour.

The minute markers on the edge are good with 12 o'clock position slightly thicker



Thie example shows a well machined Lug, top and side brushed. Middle facet of the lug has a mirror-like finish,





Minute markers look great here too





Emblem of the hippocampus in excellent condition. Great to roll the fingers over, good thickness in the dimensions





Lume plots on dial and brushing on bezel is also good
And more lug facets ...

Let's get up close and personal .....

Sparkle everywhere

Beveled Date window





Love it when there are absolutely no tool marks. No unsightly dings. Should be a cal 751 under there, but will have to wait to find out




Don't see scratch marks betwix the lugs



Not many scratches to see. No dings at all. Perfect? Let's just say that I'm satisfied. You get what you pay for.

Thanks for looking.

 

Beautiful watch, great pics!

 

That is the most beautiful Seamaster I've ever seen! May I ask how you came to have it? It had to have been forgotten in the back of a cabinet in a 100 year old jewelery store! Surely that watch was never worn?!

 

Lovely catch Spenc...........

 

That's stunning.

 

really beautiful, I like to acquire one like that sometime

 

Very nice catch. The sparkle dial Seamasters are undervalued IMO. They really wear nice and the dial is amazing....
Here is a crappy photo of the non-chronometer version (166.032)

 

What's the lug width on this Seamaster, 19mm? I ask because the new Railmaster '57 LE bracelet design looks a lot like one of the original bracelet options for this watch and the new Railmaster has 19mm lugs. Maybe a route to a nice steel bracelet?

 

Gorgeous example! I love these references. It checks a lot of boxes for me and is on the upper end of my list. Thank you for the great photos to use as a reference.

 

Thanks all, including PM sent and received with thanks! I think this is the angle I love, great display of a beautiful timepiece




So rich!! Just the same we can be clear eyed of the nick, see it?





Question for you all,..., is the bezel removable?

 

Love this calibre too, 750 or 752. Here's my daily daily

 

Very nice, probably one of the few watches with a Day display that I really like. Condition is amazing

 

19mm, yes.

You'd have to be creative with the end links, though. The lugs are much longer on the Railmaster, so you'd need to find bigger end links.

PS - I am waiting for @styggpyggeno1 to come along and show off his NOS example...

 

Ah - you mean this ex-NOS - now used example? Pictures not showing very much sparkle though. But it is there IRL.

 

Remember when I drooled over it ... for weeks! Absolutely perfect example!!!

Stil over it

 

and dibs

 

Holy .... that's uber nice! DIBS! @JohnSteed .If no one has claimed before. Enjoy it and wear it in good health! Beautiful example!

What's the exact ref. of these?

Cheers,

Max

 

168.023 for the chronometer version.

 

Fantastic looking watch Spencer! Enjoy it! Really well done photos too, thank you for that. Always nice to see such close up detail.
