Next watch in my collection: this 1957 Omega Seamaster. I have six vintage Omegas from the Golden Age of wristwatches, the 40's through the 60's. This example has a 32.5mm gold cap over stainless steel case with the chronometer grade caliber 503 rotor automatic with swan's neck regulator. I bought it in 2002 for $172.50 :) I'd be lucky to get it for less than 10x that today in Switzerland. Back then it had some minor pitting on the otherwise original dial. This was considered a strike against it, whereas today a seller might proudly proclaim it has a lovely patina ;) It HAS developed a rather interesting mottled pattern since then, which I find somewhat fetching. Have a great day, folks!
