Vintage Omega Seamaster & Longines Tre Tacche ID

rootbeer7 · Nov 15, 2025

and out of the back of the safe came these Omega and a this amazing Longines Tre Tacche. The patina on the Seamaster is incredible/awful depending on your taste, the Mk4.5 is well worn and honest and the little tank is just lovely.

Wow! That’s an amazing example of the very sought after “Petri dish” Seamaster!

I thought so at first but comparing with many online it would appear original and slightly worn/damaged

No doubt about it.

Comparing others online I thought it was just slightly damaged/chipped. It would be consistent to the case. But, when sale comes I would always err on the side of caution, and I would certainly trust your judgement on it.

Many dress watches of this era were repainted … the cases were not water resistant, people smoked. A lot of what you were looking at on line were prolly also redone.

That’s a great point. I guess it must be getting close to 100 years old. Hoping to remove casebacks this week.
