Also, I’ve meant to post this one. Definitely among the most special 2577s I’ve ever handled. First of all, there’s that dial. It’s a configuration that was unknown to me, and it’s an absolute stunner to my eyes.
And then, there’s the condition. I mean, the case back sticker alone. I wouldn’t call it NOS necessarily, but whenever you read that term from some over-ambitious seller, look at this sticker and the original brushing at the back of the lugs for comparison.
The original strap & buckle are the icing on the cake.

Now a comment/slight frustration regarding spare parts to the ref 2577/2576, which I do collect and have quite a few of: The crystal.
Imo there is a huge difference on the feel wearing these if they have a truly flat crystal, compared to the ones available (at least through my sources) today. Does anyone have access to the low dome that can be found as original? Would there be interest in trying to recreate them? I have appetite to ask a local player to create a mould based on the few ones I have but would be great to hear if anyone here have a better idea?
Amazing piece Matt, turned out amazing - well done to land it 😀
Great example black waffle/breguet as well gbesq. Congrats!

Thank you, and completely agree re crystal. I do have a few period originals but while they have the mentioned low profile, it’s pretty much a 70yo consumable. Not ideal.
Send me a PM if you want to pursue the route with your local player. I’d be interested, as long as he doesn’t etch an Omega logo on them.

Adding a variant that I haven't sen here yet. Early version, with serial 12M yet the Seamaster text is in the bottom, and comes with a rare red tip second hand.
Dials don’t always have to be super rare or structured to be attractive. Here’s a pretty clean early case 2577, non-luminous configuration. Thanks to @seekingseaquest for helping me picking this one up!
