Hi OF members, I walked into my usual pawnbrokers this morning and saw this one.. Fell immediately in love and had to have it..I ‘m not familiar with this particular dial.. What d’you call his type of finishing and is the 1193 bracelet original to this watch?
Nice looking watch, dial is amazing. Congrats! I'm pretty shure the bracelet is a much later one. Early 60s Seamasters came on a 5 row Bead of Rice with 11 end links IMO Crown is a later replacement but this is no big issue
I have seen this dial described as "fish bone" or "louvered" or "slatted." No matter yours looks much better than those I have seen for sale on the Internet. congratulations. I better start checking my local pawn shops.
That first photo is amazing - for a moment I thought it was computer generated! Good skills! (and nice watch BTW!)
Some suggested names for your dial are debated ad nauseam in this thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/need-help-for-this-type-of-dial.54445/
That's a really nice one. Haven't seen them in such good shape. Good catch. Why do I only see junk at pawnbrokers?
