I`m in vintage heaven Another vintage arrival Lol

Picked up this beautifulle Seamaster along with the Longines. Just got springbars for it today and a temporary strap and on the wrist it went Another vintage arrival 203558

Got a couple of straps incoming for this one, but for now this will have to do.
This is a 1960 Seamster Cal. 285 according to the guy that sold it to me. I know nada about movements, but it`s a handcranker and it seems to keep time very well for its 50 years. It`s got a wicked cool domed hesalite (?) crystal, it`s almost as thick as the case!
I just love the size of it, perfect for my manly girlywrist Another vintage arrival Suspect

Mega classic piece here Kenneth ! Another vintage arrival 46145

Really like the way the
vintage watches like this Omega are all about perfection. Perfect
cases, perfect dials, as well as special attention to details like
the hands, markers, and movement. Have to say that the crystal
is EXTRA impressive also ! Another vintage arrival 803574

So are the pics by the way !
Congrats to ya, and..Enjoy !

Excellent addition, Kenneth!

If you can pop open the back, you can date your watch by comparing the movement serial number against this reference:

That's a beautiful Omega. I drool.

Mind you, I drool at the strap, too...where do you get those? Very Happy

Thank`s guys!
I found the strap at a hardware store while picking up some springbars, I really dig it. The buckle is cheap, but it`s easy to exchange if you have another one.

Couple of comparison photos between the Longines and the Omega
Really quite similar, but i think the Longines got the edge Another vintage arrival 203558

I agree, Kenneth. Please send that disgusting Flagship to me for proper disposal. Another vintage arrival Icon_biggrin

A fantastic side by side Kenneth !..Both of these are just TOO GOOD imho ! Another vintage arrival 46145

It's hard to pick a winner between the two, but I do like the hash marks at the center
of the dial on the Flagship. Also the shorter hands on that one work really well too !
The Omega is SUPER smooth though. Those markers, that crystal..WOW ! Just some
unbelievably nice watches, and pictures ! Another vintage arrival 803574
