Meant to add this one to the thread, a cal 352 chronometer certified example with a style of indices that’s rather uncommon. I’d give them a descriptive name, but I’m afraid all I can come up with sounds rather, uhm, childish.

Anyway. I like it. Will need a clover crown, of course, but it’s not like I’m complaining about a thick decagonal flat feet crown for my parts drawer, so that didn’t really stop me purchasing it. 😀

A very attractive example, Matt, even with the incorrect crown. If the 2577 isn’t your favorite Omega reference, it’s gotta be high on your list. 😀

Elusive "big pp" dial ... Or maybe the knob dial?

That said, I have looked at the link you’ve posted and my first impression is that the dial has been repainted.

In 1950, Seamasters didn’t generally have ‘Seamaster' on the dial.

According to the table in post 1, it seems 12.27m is late enough to expect to see the SM text which seems to appear around 12.1m. The lume seems to have been removed from that dial so it has seen some intervention but I don't think it's necessarily been refinished, the fonts look consistent with others of the era.

Edit: I just realised we had a similar conversation about your 12.09m watch (without text) lower down on p1 lol

+1. The pics are pretty bad but if I had to guess from what we see I'd say legit. However, legit doesn't equal nice. With the dial discoloration, the heavily polished case (or let's just say the overall condition), this isn't one I'd be after. Not even for 450CHF.

Sorry about that, I`ll post pictures in the future. However thank you for your answer.

Always interesting to become aware of details I wouldn't have noticed myself.

I`m obviously not that deep into the reference itself but it's near the city I study and it would have been a nice trip after our last exam to go pick it up since I had it in the back of my mind for some time. I'll make sure to look out for better examples.

Back from service on Saturday. It came with wrong hands and a service crown. Now that’s all sorted.

Yours (and @hejsam s example) made me realize I haven’t shared mine, I think:

Apologies for a rather dusty plexi.

Something about that choice of bracelet gives this a really uncompromising air, and I like it. (Wish I could explain better!)

Pair of 2577 with textured dials on early Omega BOR bracelets with glideclasp, IMO the best bracelet options for 2577s after the 7077

These waffle dial 2577's look great. I sold my bullseye 2577 that had a blued seconds hand, maybe it was the wrong choice 🙁
