Hi OF

Here is my first attempt at consolidating this year, starting off with a potential entry level beater Omega Seamaster from the 50s. Up for sale is an Omega Seamaster 2846 with patinated cross-hair dial, gold-toned hands and markers and stainless steel case.



Specifications and condition:

Model: Omega Seamster ref. 2846

Dial: A once two-tone dial with cross-hairs that developed a charming patina. The patina is fairly evenly spread with some grainy texture. The digital images overemphasize the patina. It looks smoother and more even with naked eye. The dial comes with gold-colored hands and markers.

Movement: Calibre 501, a full automatic movement. The serial number dates the watch to approx. 1958. The movement is fully functional, sets and winds fine, but loses about 2-3 minutes per day. Based on the markings on the inner case back the last service was performed in 2002. A service is certainly due.

Case: Stainless steel case featuring beefy lugs. The case has definitely seen a polish or two in the past, but the facets on the lugs are still visible. Personally I don't consider it overpolished, but that's of course subjective.

Crown: When I received the watch, it had a wrong style service crown. I had my watchmaker put on an original Omega clover crown from my parts drawer that has the correct style for the reference, but it's a more modern version, not the period correct one with the flat foot logo. When taking the pictures I noticed that the stem may be tad too long. This can easily be sorted out during the service.

Crystal: Original signed crystal.

Measurements: 34mm in diameter without crown, 42mm lug to lug, lug width 18mm

Accessories: I'm happy to leave the brown leather strap from the pictures on.

Price: I'm asking CHF 490 (or the equivalent amount in EUR or USD) plus shipping. Happy to ship worldwide.
No returns unless grossly misrepresented.
Payment through Wise or otherwise bank transfer is strongly preferred. The watch and I are located in Switzerland.

Any questions, please ask. I have plenty of reviews as both a buyer and seller here.
