While I have not viewed the inside case engravings, as the case design is monocoque, this timepiece appears to be a first generation, late 1940's Omega Seamaster. If you compare this watch to the central seconds version of Omega's recent 70th anniversary Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition, the dial and case design elements are identical. This Seamaster features a 34mm wide steel case, excluding crown, with beefy lugs and bezel. The original two-tone dial shows natural patina and character. The original lume is intact. Caseback is marked "Seamaster", "Waterproof". The crystal was replaced at some point, as was the crown and service history is unknown, but the bumper movement winds smoothly and is keeping reasonable time for a 70+ year-old watch. Comes on a slightly worn generic black leather strap, 18 Long. This is definitely a very wearable vintage watch with lots of life left. US $575, includes shipping/ paypal Canada/US.

NOTE: Just to clarify, I stand corrected, as indicated by ConElPueblo, that this is a ref. 2767 circa 1954 and is a snapback case. I used Omega's Reference 511.13.38.20.02.001, their recent 1948 re-issue as a reference point, which was a mistake. My intention was not to mislead and I apologize for my poor description. Thanks for all your comments and feedback. I'll do a better job next time.

 

Seamasters dating back to the 40s are quite rare - a claim to own one should be based on seeing the serial number IMO.

 

i think i violated this rule unknowingly- so will delete the message in order to comply

Keep all communication to through PM in respect to a deal rather than email. You can of course openly discuss the item in question publicly , but not in the sales post . Such discussions are to be respectful and non-accusatory. Serious concerns should be directed in reports to staff.

 

Kind of silly. The caseback should be opened anyways as part of sales listing to begin with.

 

Looks like an early-mid 1950s 2767 with a press on back. The dial text looks fine for that era. Are you sure it is a bumper? The later 2846 looks similar too.

 

PM sent.

 

A simple, straight picture from the front would also be very helpful.

 

It's a ref. 2767, so not exactly "first generation". The logo is the later type as well (introduced around 1953 on most Seamasters).

Lovely facetted fat lugs

It is a snap-back, there should be a small lip somewhere around the periphery of the caseback

 

will submit offer

 

I may have misinterpreted OF rules/etiquette here - I had a lot of questions, but shouldn't a lot of this be via PM? Happy to be taught the house rules - via PM if appropriate (taking my own point) - and with apologies if necessary for using the thread to raise this. Thanks, and peace, to all.

 

Exactly.

 

I really appreciate your feedback, thank you. My intention was not to mislead. As you indicate, this is a ref. 2767 from around 1954 or so. I compared it to Omega's recent 1948 re-issue, which was a mistake.

 

I hope my comment wasn't percieved negatively - I am not surprised it sold fast

No, thanks again for the feedback, you've been very helpful. Moving forward I will do a better job. I made a poor assumption thinking this was late 40's. I've put a note in the listing to clarify.

 

+1 - it's an attractive watch and was offered for a very fair price. Congrats to buyer and seller.

 

I'll have one in 36mm please send thank you. Beautiful piece, congrats to whomever picked it up
