Seamaster or not? *PIC*

Hi,

I'm pretty new to all this watch stuff. Never really got worked up about it before, but that's all changing.

I have my 2001 Schumacher speedmaster which is never off my wrist.

However, that's where my knowledge of Omega ends.

I've been offered what I've been told is a 1947/8 Seamaster 14kt Gold Filled.
Sounds nice but when I held the watch I wasn't too sure.
It feels very light, almost plasticy to my rather large hands.
It also sounds very tinny when winding.

Would this description fit watches of this era?
It is almost unmarked and has apparently just been serviced by an Ex-Omega employee.

What do you guys think?
I've searched the net but can find nothing like it.

Cheers

Steve
