: I picked up this Omega Seamaster (see picture)
: in Argentina. I am trying to date the watch.
Start with wine, dinner and light conversation...
: intervals. Roughly how old is this watch.
: The antique shop that sold it to me said
: maybe from 1948, but that was just the first
: year of the omega, I believe.
1948 was the first year of the Seamaster series, but Omega had already been around for 100 years before that!
If you can find the serial number or the movement calibre (both inside the watch - have a jeweler open it for you and get that info), then we might be able to narrow the date.
: Also, if anyone can tell me anything about the
: color on the face/dial of the watch, I would
: appreciate it.
The color has aged so severely, hard to tell whether it was originally a gold or white dial.
: P.S. It runs about 7 seconds fast per day and I
: paid $100 for it.
Sweet deal!
