Re: Seamaster Omega Olympic
In Response To: Seamaster Omega Olympic ()

: I own a Omega Seamaster produced in 1956 under
: the reference OT 2850 - SEAMASTER XVI.

Neat watch!

: front. I don't know how to get the back off
: to learn the serial number.

Best to take it to a jeweler to do this. That watch might be especially valuable and the last thing you would want to do is screw it up by either damaging the case or allowing dust into the movement by doing a hack home job of opening and handling it.

: I need a new band and buckle... Was the
: original band croc? If so, was it brown or
: black?

Omega should be able to answer this once you can send them the serial number.

: Any idea of the value of the watch? It is NOT
: for sale. Going to give it to my kids or
: grandkids.

In that case, it is priceless. But it sounds pretty valuable even beyond being a great family heirloom. I'd treat it as if it was worth a decent amount.

: Thanks
