Brian,

usually ref 2850 has 8 digit case serial numbers.
But don´t worry, your serial number is also correct.
I have one in my collection with a 6 digit only case serial number beginning with 19xxxx and only 93 numbers apart from your´s.

Serial number is on the movement. Here is an example of the inside of a Ref. 2850 case:

Cases can sometimes be also be dated by their separate serial numbers.

Pictures of your watch would be helpful and appreciated.

None of that makes any sense at all. If you are talking about a separate watch, a 1970 Speedmaster for instance it might be best to post a photo and say so otherwise it sounds like you have one very weird 2850.

Those photos have no connection to your question about a ref 2850SC from 1956.

I think that watch needs to come home, here to Melbourne......
I can hear it pining for the trams.......it can stay rent free at my place, with some of It's Omega relatives......I'll look after it for you 😀
