Hi, my dad left me this watch. I have done a load of research and can't find one the same, they all seem to be seamasters but this one isn't.

It has a cal 562, 24 jewels movement. But I can't see the reference number clearly on the inside of the case...

anyone help me out with what it is please? (or what it may be worth?)

thanks all

Hi Stefan,
I’m sure someone can help but not using the photos you’ve posted. Take better pictures (get help from a friend or relative, if necessary and post sharp, clear, focused pics of the dial, the movement (the whole of it), the case and lugs (including any hallmarks if you think it’s gold, and the inside of the caseback.

Case doesn’t appear to have Omega markings or manufacturing marks. Appears to have some assay marks though.

Most likely recased movement in a custom made case.

Movement about $150 + gold value or complete. About 10-15% over gold value as it’s useable as a watch

Not a Seamaster, case is not water resistant. Recased or locally cased. Dial repainted. Value mostly in the gold.
