    Hi folks,

    I recently picked this Omega from a greymarket dealer in Ireland.
    - From my research to date I can tell you that this watch is a ref 2750-3 steel case with a cal. 266 movement.
    - The face has gold batons and with gold hands and a sub-second dial.
    - The case measures ~ 34cm without the crown and the lug width is ~ 18cm
    - The serial begins in 1401****.
    - I understand this watch can be dated to approx. 1954.

    Some concerns I have are, there is no 'Swiss Made' reference on the face. The crown, although branded correctly is quite large.

    Keen to hear everyone's thoughts on this piece. I hope it's not a ringer!

    Reference 2750 is not a Seamaster and even if it were the dial is poorly refinished, crown is incorrect as well, doesn't even look genuine, case also has some very heavy pitting.

    I would return it if you can, ask questions first next time, sorry.
