Hello guys, I bought an Omega Seamaster Automatic on the Internet but I did not made good research before, because I literally can't find this watch on the internet. I've tried everything and I would be extremly thankful if someone could help me and tell me whats this exactly for a watch because I never seen a Omega with this long digits on the dial. The one Thing I found out that my watch looks almost like the omega seamaster '165.070' but just not with those long dials. So please take a look at the pictures below and if you know if this watch is real or fake or how its called please write me.
Many thanks

Those really are awful photos. If you want helpful comments, you really must take decent, crisp, and clear photos.

Why don’t you take them, edit your post and delete the above photos and insert better ones.

That and possibly add clues to the subject matter in your thread title.

Seems like both you and @MAKSIMALNE are asking about the same watch. So, presumably, the photos that you’ve posted are not of the watch you bought (previously).

Perhaps you should get together with him/her?

I don't understand the problem guys. Sure the photos could be better, perhaps these are the improved ones.

The photo of the dial is not clear enough to determine if it is original or has been repainted (a common practice). The caseback indicates it is a ref. 14723-2 SC (center seconds). However, as far as I know that should be a manual wind, but the movement is clearly an automatic. I am am not an expert, but my limited knowledge suggests something funny is going on here.

Based on those photographs I can't see anything wrong with the watch.

At the time this watch was produced (1950s), Omega made many many many dial combinations fro a specific reference, some in very small batches, others much more prolific, so finding an exact match is sometimes difficult.

I think your dial is original.

Am I wrong that a 14723 should be a manual? I think more like '59-'61.

Yeah, probably should have a caliber 520, but who knows if the caseback is original.
So many questions.

I think you're absolutely right on this, plus, to my knowledge, any automatic Seamaster from that time had automatic on the dial. Something's off on this one.

Perhaps I am being naive, but he seems new to Omega, not a native English speaker, is trying to be polite, and I am assuming he has an honest question. Why not just assume the best of people and give some help, or don't. I don't understand why every newbie has to run the gauntlet of grumpiness. If you find his question ill-posed or annoying, just quietly move on and don't waste your time.

Hi @Vini7Vince and welcome to Omega Forum.

Like the more experienced ones said before, Omega did manufacture many different dials for a single reference. Sometimes, even after seeing hundreds and hundreds of different Omegas from the 40s and 50s, still some watches come up which we have never seen.

An example: my reference 2438. I have seen very few other examples with the same kind of dial, but never in a rose gold capped case.

I believe your watch is original!

Best,

Rudi
