Thank you so much my dear friend. You discovered it...
... and your knowledgeable eye knew what it really was.
My help was very small indeed, and I was very happy to be able to capture this special piece for a special friend.
Keep enjoying and loving so much my dear friend!!
Cheers! Abel
Seamaster show-and-tell time! . . .
. . . let's see the Seamasters in our collections - divers, chronometers, and chronographs, as well as the more mundane. There are several in mine, all vintage. This one's a '56 ref 2846 . . . . . . powered by a cal 500 movement. It's a common reference, ...
#3 wouldn't have been possible . . .
. . . without the help of Subexplorer. It's his as much as it is mine ;-) . . .

Absolutely, positively . . .
. . . yes! Here's a modern incarnation . . . . . . of Omega's bad boy. In titanium, no less . . . ...
There's an Aqua Terra that came close . . .
. . . to entering my collection. The mid-size AT annual calendar, ca 2011, cased in yellow gold. I would've gone for steel, but this image is all I have of the compact version. Thanks for sharing yours! Art ...
I used to own this vintage piece
given your knowledge I was always curious about its originality. The crystal did have the etching and the movement was very brilliant copper. The case back was plain, no engraving which sometimes gave me pause. ...
Just noticed you may have been asking for an assessment . . .
. . . of your Seamaster. My hunch is it's a ref 165.001. If so, then it's either one of the last made, or more likely, been serviced by Omega and given a service dial and hands. I don't believe the dial has been refinished. It is a bit odd, but the most l...
Also partial to black dial Seamasters . . .
. . . and just acquired another, a '62 ref 14701. It's being serviced by my watchmaker, so I can't share any photos at the moment other than the seller's. Here's hoping you'll add an Omega to your collection in the not-too-distant future! Art ...
I'll keep an eye out for you, Nicolas. The reference number . . .
. . .is 1470 0 . This one doesn't have an original dial . . . [photo credit: Chrono24] . . . but a proper example would look substantially like this. (The crown in this photo is not correct.) Here's another, in yellow gold cap . . . . . . but in original ...
I had one for a spell . . .
[ ca '49 ref 2576 / cal 343] . . . but the seller is a good friend who wanted it back, so I let him take it back in a trade. He later sold it to someone else. 😕 ...
Could be a late '50s ref 2846, essentially the same . . .
. . . as mine, and fitted with a cal 501 movement. Thanks for sharing, Kev!
The vintage version of the Ultra Deep . . .
. . . would be the 1000. [watch and photo credit: Leo] The 1000 is perhaps the only watch in existence that I would want to own yet rarely, if ever, wear. It's a beast, but oh, what a beast! 😋 ...
Seamasters are nice.
Dear Scholars Got a 1967 Seamaster 300 from 1967, which was my first diver ever, and is much loved. You might think it's a beater by the look of the bezel, but my beater (one of them) and high risk travel watch is the 1960 CK14390. I bought it with that s...
When most guys think of vintage Seamasters, your ref 165.024 . . .
. . . is what first comes to mind. In my humble opinion, it epitomizes dive watch design . . . there are others, but none more definitive. Thanks for sharing, Jacob! Best, Art
I believe there are a few community members with Trilogy Seamasters . . .
. . . so perhaps we'll see one in this thread. Hopefully, Art
Here are my 2 Seamasters!
Probably my favorite watch line in all of watches... i hope to add a 300, 300M and some sort of vintage piece but have not nailed down which era.... -D-
You showed us many cool watches art !
Especially the 2846 ! Here are a couple of SM I like .. SM 300 60th anniversary and SM No time to die. Great thread, Art! ...
I searched thru my files but couldn't find a single pic . . .
. . . of either Seamaster, Seeks. I'm sure I've taken pics of the 007, but nowhere to be found. Thanks very much for sharing your take on modern Seamasters. Art
Cool watches Art..
few of mine Beads O Rice and Golf Thanks for a great thread you started Art. best Ed ...
What a wonderfull collection Ed !
Never seen the hammered dial pattern before. Amazing watch ! Do you know more about that piece ? Thanks for sharing it.
Colloquially referred to as . . .
. . . the 'golf ball'. I've seen just a few others online . . . it's rare, and while I've never seen one in the metal, compelling aesthetically.
Have you any idea how difficult it is to find . . .
. . . a ref 145.0024, Edward? Obviously, you do, because you have one, and with a black dial, no less. Wow!!
Hello dear Art! With some delay I would like to play...
... with a few Seamasters in my collection. SM collection is a very interesting focus to collect as it includes both “dress” and sport watches. You show some superb and rare references which I know you enjoy so much owning and wearing. Here some modern as...
2913, 14755, and . . .
. . . 166.024 - the trifecta! You are a Seamaster aficionado, Abel, no doubt about it. Big love for the 2849s and XVI . . . vintage pink gold makes my heart flutter. Warmest, Art
