scope 3 Posted October 24, 2010 Just finished restoring this 1956 Gold filled Omega Seamaster. It has the very first Omega auto movement(470). I am still looking for a 18 mm brown croc strap but have found the 14 k gold buckle. Let me know what you think. I think it's a keeper! :lmao: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted October 24, 2010 Keeper? No question about that... Awesome awesome watch. Just lovely. Nice croco strap would make it perfect. Congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dendo 93 Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks. Leaning towards a gen alligator. Great watch - def a keeper. And definately needs a great strap. I am looking for a gen 'gator also - let me know what you get/choose please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted October 24, 2010 Yep, that's a keeper, very nice piece, vintage automatic Omegas are well worth collecting, plus side is that you don't see many reps of this style, only one I ever saw was this one from the old TTK catalogue, which I thought was nice also :lmao: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scope 3 Posted October 24, 2010 I agree Baldrick. That's a good looking rep! If it was still around I might pic that up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted October 25, 2010 I hate to be like I'm thread crapping, but I do love my old vintage SeaMaster. This is a picture that Rex The Watchman took when he serviced it. They are just such beautiful old watches. I like yours even better, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scope 3 Posted October 31, 2010 Just a few pics of the ss on the case.Was thinking of getting it gold plated.All of the gold ones were in pretty bad shape but I kinda like the ss\gold contrast.... Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goon 0 Posted October 31, 2010 Looks great! Not so sure about the gold/silver contrast though. Seems a bit afterthought and tacked on in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
