Hello. I’m new to this forum and was hoping I could get some advice on a watch that I was looking at on Ebay. As far as I can tell, it seems to be real. The logo is etched on the inside and not on the back, and the serial number matches one from 1947. It is a apparently a vintage Omega Seamaster. It does have some signs of age but like the seller suggests, maybe that gives it character. Thanks in advance for any help.
Oh that’s interesting. I guess the watch having character is a bit of a stretch then. Does $800 seem rather high?
This is apparently a vintage 1963 Seamaster. Everything about it looks great but I keep looking at the date in the window that is slightly off center. Should I take this as an indication that it may not be real or just an issue of a watch being over 50 years old?
It could be that the time in the picture is 10:13pm. The calendar starts moving about 10:00pm in these movements. You would want to seller to take a picture showing a different time. If the date is still off center, it could be a sign that the movement needs service, or that the dial is not installed properly. Hope this helps, gatorcpa
