This Seamaster is still possible to get new

Very elegant watch.

Thank you🙏

Yeah, it`s a beautful model, elegant and simple.

It's a beauty! 

However, I must include a caveat emptor/warning. I really wanted a "fat lug" Seamaster, but quit the idea upon learning they're usually unserviceable. As per a few Omega-certified master watchmaker, parts for Omega bumpers and rotor automatics of the 50X family and earlier are almost impossible to get. Especially the auto winding assembly parts, which notoriously wear out in these movements. Omega has closed the tap on supplying the parts to anyone, even watchmakers certified by them and with an "Omega spare parts account." They confined these spares to their factory service in Bienne only, and that sucks, because prices for servicing vintage watches at the Omega factory service are absolutely extortionate. And Omega is famous for not really giving a damn about originality, which especially concerns the case finishing. "Unpolished" to them means scratches that need to be buffed out. 

Thanks for the heads up. I will treat it with care and hope for the best then.

I had no idea it was available with central seconds. That makes a considerable difference.

Very cool. Gorgeous dress piece!

If you weren’t just joking here it is

Wow very interesting, thanks for sharing! I don't have any of those (yet) , but I definitely consider servicing when buying a vintage watch and will have to keep that in mind.

I remember when this came out, however, I thought it was a limited edition so not many were produced. If this is a "special edition" then that definitely makes it much more interesting to purchase. 

Had to check since it didn’t say that. But in the description it does. Yea you are right. It is, or was, a limited version of 1948 samples per iteration. My bad. Still beautiful though. 

I assume that by servicing it a year ahead of the end of life of the oils used, the deterioration of the vital parts of the winding assembly can be somehow delayed. But from what I know, some parts will have to be replaced at some point.

That's beautiful. 38mm is a good size too. I find 34 just a bit too small to wear everyday. 

Classic design, You cannot go wrong.

Beautiful pieces! 

I also like the size of a vintage. My dressier pieces are 34-36mm and that feels just right. I have not tested this 38 IRL. Maybe it feels out of proportion. I understand the reason why Omega went for larger than 34 with the reissue.

for a similar price as the 38mm version above the 1894 reissue in gold is a dream of a design for me. Still find it hard to buy a watch i might not wear all that much but beautiful to look from photos. The 38mm version is beautiful too.

Yours is super clean example. Must be beautiful in the movement side too ;)

Nice swan neck regulator too :) love these copper industrial beauty. Not the fanciest but still a beauty that lasts a life time. Roger smith and many other watch makers commentted on these omega movements.

I'd take the silver, but I want the gold indices and hands.

When I bought mine I was debating with myself about that one and this (which I believe you would have gone for)

Very beautiful. Is there no ridging on the crown? Is that common? I'm sure I've not noticed that on a crown before, but maybe I've just not been paying attention! 

Perfection, IMHO!

Well, it has. But just 4 of them🧐 I have 3 Seamasters from around this period and all 3 have the same type of crown.

I've seen a fair bit of watches, where the case was polished or dial/hands were restored or replaced despite the wishes of their owners, which wishes have been conveyed to the Omega service upon the watch having been sent there. Wouldn't mention that happening if I wouldn't have seen it happen.
