Vintage Seamaster Omega Cal. 628

Welcome to OF! I appreciate your excitement over your new watch 👍.

Do you have a photo of the inside of the caseback that you can post, and have you searched the reference # to see what other comparables look like? I don’t want to rain on your parade, but hold on to your receipt, there may be some issues with your watch:
- Case seems heavily polished, which would negatively affect the price
- lume is missing on the hour markers
- hands do seem wrong
- wait for the experts, but I suspect that the dial has been redone. Can you provide a shot of the dial with the hands not blocking the logo and script?
- the movement will also need a service before you wear it

I hope you stay around the forum!

Edit: let us know whereabouts you are and a recommendation for a watchmaker can be made

It looks like someone tried to clean the dial and hands and lost the lume in the process. The lacquer on the dials of older Omega's (and many other brands) tend to degrade or yellow with age and a trick to try and freshen up the dials is do a citrus bath or some other bath trick....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but invariably is always washes away the lume. The muddled finish on the dial speaks to a washing attempt- and it didn't go too well. At least they didn't lose the lettering.
If it's not too late to cancel this sale, I would. Stick around here for a while and you will learn much and be a much better hunter.
Also the classifieds here is a great place to shop.

Hi there

Seems like you knew what you were buying, so I assume you got it at a good price. That’s great.

I am not familiar with this ref, but it is a pleasing layout (I do love subseconds), and end of the day that is all that matters

Looking at the shape of the hour markers, I would expect to see lume at the outside ends. Lume then would be expected on the hands as well. Again, wait for the experts to weigh in
