    I am at a three day meeting in Pfaffenhofen and today noticed on the wrist of a colleague from Sweden an old Seamaster. I commented on it and she told me it was her Grandfathers and she thought it was early sixties with which I stated that I believe it is more likely late fifties. The watch is beautiful and untouched. What do you think about the age?

    Yep, manual wind from the mid to late 50's most likely. Man, next time you shoot a picture don't cover the fonts! Especially the capital S of Seamaster. Luckily, we can see the dipping r at the end which was used in the mid to late 50's.
