Hey man, getting the wife involved in your watch passion is a big plus 😀
Mine now has 3 watches herself (all vintage pieces in great condition like yours), which she wears regularly and it helps me justify other purchases.
I thinking depends on the make and model. I had a Helson Shark Diver that had some „rub off“. Wasn’t bad, but it did bug me a bit.
I understand. Bronze is definitely kind of gimicky. I chose this one because at $350, it doesn’t break the bank, but still gets the job done. I actually love seeing the patina develop, it’s part of the appeal.
It’s likely not a Seamaster as this was usually indicated on either the dial or caseback. It’s also not an automatic, but manually wound.
You can actually very closely estimate the year of manufacturing by looking up the serial number. Yours starts with 17…, so it was likely made in 1959.
Seamaster or not, still a very cool watch and in full 18k gold very desirable.
