    Hello guys, up for grabs is a vintage omega Seamaster with a calibre 354. I had it fully serviced with Richard Askham in August. Since being back from service, I have only worn it once as the BoR bracelet is too big for my small wrist (6.25in). Hence, instead of cutting the links off and ruining the bracelet, I have decided to sell it. Also, I have overspent my student budget and I'm currently living on breadcrumbs so help me god.

    Dial
    It is an original seamaster dial with arabic 3,6,9,12 and gold furniture. It has the coat hanger S for the seamaster and the font is still crisp and intact. Both the dial and hands have their original lume and they light up with the black light test. There is slight spotting of the dial that can be seen in the photos.

    Case
    The case is a 34.5mm x 42mm stainless steel case with the bevels still clearly present. There are some tool marks visible on inspection and scratches commensurate with age but there are no deep gouges. It is 18mm between lugs.

    Unfortunately, due to an amateur mistake of mine, I have no photo of the case back and I would appreciate if members could tell me what it is as I do not have the tools to open it. Also, it has been sealed properly after the service and I do not want to risk damaging anything.

    Crown
    Genuine omega clover crown that is correct for the case.

    Movement
    Serviced 354 bumper movement that is running strong. I have left it running for 24hours and there was no significant time loss or gain. It has recently been serviced by Richard Askham. It has roughly 11months of warranty left on it. Paperwork for the service will be provided with the watch. There is loss of nickel plating of the movement, as shown on the photos. Movement number puts the watch at around 1953-54.

    Accessories
    It comes with a BoR bracelet, with the correct 5 beads per row. It really grows on your when you wear it. It is in a decent condition and reasonably snug. Scratches are present on the clasp. It is slightly big for my 6.25in wrist. I have 1 spare link. I am guessing it will fit up to a 7inch wrist at least. The clasp is stamped 3220 and the endlinks are stamped 512. It came with the watch but I cannot personally vouch that these are original to this specific seamaster model. I have tried asking around but I did not get much information. Nevertheless, they fit the watch and they go well together.


    I am asking for £500 SHIPPED within the UK or at cost to overseas. As a relatively new seller, I am willing to cover the Paypal fees. Returns accepted if it has been grossly misrepresented!

    Thanks for looking!
