·Here's my 2577-11, recent purchase. It was absolutely filthy upon arrival, really grim. Ingrained dirt, very unpleasant and quite badly scratched crystal but has come up OK. Not original crown of course.
Show us your 2577 Omega Seamaster (and a little introduction to the reference)

·It’s a known dial variant, even though the indices are more common on later 2846s, so nothing to worry about. Aftermarket replacement crystals are often significantly taller, so they don’t look quite as elegant.
I’m not sure about the relation between a non-luminous example and the Japanese origin?
And some eye-candy so this isn’t just a wall of text:

·Hi, I recently came across these dials and absolutely love them. Despite my efforts, I am unable to find any available options online or any information, except for a previous 2016 auction with the same "Golf ball" dial. Is there any information about the number of dials produced in this configuration? Is there any resource online I can find to learn more about these?
There isn’t I’m afraid. I‘m aware of 17 golf ball dial 2577s. Of course there were more, but certainly not a big number. I doubt they were produced in the higher hundreds.
What kind of info are you looking for regarding them?

I've been waiting 2 years for one to come up!

·Thanks. I'm mainly interested in production numbers and the various configurations, such as black dial variants. Possibly also any interesting history behind it. With its age I understand how complicated it is to obtain such information, however.
There are two known black dials: The one you see in the pic above that’s in my possession and one in a rose gold 2846 case that belongs to a Dutch dealer. He realized it had the dial feet cut off to fit the cal 501 in the 2846 and has kept it, I believe. Both known black dials have rose gold furniture, by the way.
Regarding a story, I‘d love for one to exist but given there are literally >100 configurations of 2577s my guess is that some dude just showed up on a Monday after a game of golf the previous day and said „yeah, let’s try that, too“. 😀

··London sunburst dial fanWhat would be a fair price when one comes up?
I’m not sure there is a ‘fair price’.
You have to keep looking until you find one for sale and then, unless you’re confident that you know what you’re doing, post photos, and information, in a new thread and see what OF members think.

·Incoming - My first 2577
-9, 354, serial 13623xx
All other black 2577 I could find online are either repainted or have a waffle(hobnail) texture dial
No other orginal 'plain' dials in black around???
Thank you for any feedback, hope this one is noob-tax-free 🤔
EDIT: Three 👍 so far 😀
Could not resist this nice engraving 😉

·I‘ve seen the pattern before. Let me see if I can find the picture.
I don’t believe this particular one is original, by the way.
Just got it back from my watchmaker yesterday.

·Hello all. I'm new here and been wanting to purchase a vintage Seamaster for a long time, but am certainly not an expert. I am considering this one... does anybody see any red flags? Thanks for any help.

·Added the wrong pics and then struggled with the edit function. This is the watch I'm considering.

·Judging from the picture you provided, the price is insanely high. 😏

In fact, the seller is a major green flag regarding originality.
