So, here's the thing.. I know my memory is failing and the older I get the worse it gets. But somethings I'm pretty sure I remember correctly. Like when I bought my Omega, I'm confident the seller told me it was a 1957 model, but maybe I got confused in the excitement of buying it.
I came across a serial number checker yesterday when browsing Omega online and out of curiosity, I cross checked mine and it states it is actually a 1959 Seamaster 2814 Cal. 420.
I don't think it makes any difference to what I paid for it.. but you live and learn.
Happy #seamastersaturday and May the 4th be with you all 🤖

No matter what year it was John, it's still a good looking Omega. The photo is great with the colour scheme, but I hope those rust are just there for the photo and not something you touch every single day.

Thanks, Sam. The rusty pipe is something I discovered a few days back and I've been meaning to incorporate it in a photo. The colour scheme of the Omega seemed to fit. 🤓
Wow. That’s a great example of a seamaster. Love the gold hands
Beautiful, classic design 👍
You told me it was a 57, so you must have got it from somewhere! Still lovely whatever year. May the Fourth be with you too, Jon.

Old age doesn't come easy 😢
Gorgeous John. At our age 2 years is nothing! 🤪 Have a terrific day my friend.

Haha you're not old yet!
It still looks beautiful👌. And what the heck 59 was a good year! . Have a good day John 👍
57, 59... Whatever it takes.
Still a beautiful watch.
New narrative:
‘Better to rust than fade away’, says Singer Seamaster, Omega 1959
You're only saying that because you know you will be my age one day 😉
One day in my distant future-I won't be that old for a long, loooong, long, long, long time. 😉

Still a beautiful watch.
Lol. Sounds a bit like a Johnny Cash song.
Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56'57, '58' 59' Omega Wristwatch 🤣

That is the perfect tagline for that photo. Well done, Trevor 👍🏻

In your dreams 🤣

Sadly, yes. But I'm in denial.
As John Cleese said in Faulty Towers "whoosh.. what was that? That was your life, mate"
Sorry I'm camping at the moment and the signal is not strong enough to get a gif to back that up. Was Faulty Towers shown in the states?
Yes, on and off. It so much easier now to see those classics
You most likely remembered correctly John. That said it's a gorgeous 😍 watch my friend. Have a great day.

I’d have to wear that gorgeous ’59 everyday!🔥
57 or 59 I would take that Omega anytime John. This beauty belongs to you and that’s what is important. And we are the lucky ones to admire it every time you take it out for a little walk 🤩
Enjoy your evening my friend 🙏

It is tempting, Willard, but then it wouldn't be fair to my other wrist babies 🤣
