Thank you for approving my membership. I recently decided to go through my late father's things and found his old Omega Seamaster. It still works fine and I was wondering if it's worth restoring more than selling. I did some research and although I found similar ones between 1962-1966 I could not find anything exactly like it. The only marking I can see is on the inside of the bracelet which says 7912. Can anyone help with identifying it? Thank you very much in advance!

It is a nice old diver´s watch but unfortunately with the wrong ( most likely reprinted) dial.

It's the same model/reference as you vintage Seamaster 300's you've been seeing, but with a repainted dial.

It's definitely worth restoring as these are collectible watches.

However, if you're planning on selling it, you'd be better selling it as is.

It's a collectible watch, and there may be someone out there with a better dial. The bracelet is also desirable. What number is on the back of the end-links?

Is it missing one end link?

I was assuming the second end-link had just fallen through between the lugs, but I guess you're right. Unfortunate.

If it's got sentimental value, you could keep it regardless. If not, you could look at sourcing a replacement dial off eBay (there's a slightly pricey one up now) /Chrono24?
