Right on. I just went the wrong way on it I suppose. Thank you so much.The square symbol shows a production date of 1946, then they used the year 47 till they started with the letter/number codes they still use.
Where do you shop for these vintage watches?
Been wearing the Seamaster this week.

That’s a beautiful watch!
Yeah there is a danger of sell out. 2nd hand mark up could be almost double depending on watch. Is it worth it? Idk. The 6r15 watches have gotten too expensive. Seiko is trying to change their image by raising all their prices across the board. But at $700 or $1000 you can get German or Swiss brands with more provenance. And at the end of the day, perceived value is really the only thing you are getting in luxury watch purchases so be a label whore.For those of you that have been in the watch game for awhile I have a question about Seiko and their “limited” references. How limited are they and is there any danger of them selling out quickly?
I have my eye on one of the new Alpinist models and don’t want to miss out due to a limited run or overpay due to perceived scarcity.
But it’s not green??????? Looks nice. Congrats!
Love me some old school gut shots!I have inscriptions on the inside of the case but they aren't big enough for this phone camera to get very well
I went down the internet rabbit hole once and concluded best I could. Here is a link showing one made in 1947. Mine is identical except for the date. I have a square where his has 47.

WOW!!!!! That sounds like ME!!!I'd say it's in good shape for 3/4 of a century old. Sounds really good and keeps time.
Chris, Live that watch. I have one very close to that but can not get it running. It is a quartz and not self-winding.View attachment 199561 I’ve been wearing this one a lot lately. My first automatic. The edges of the metal were sharp as crap right out of the box. I took a stone to them to smooth them out for my tender dainty wrist. Lol.

I'm looking to acquire a nice watch and thinking about an Omega. Not sure I need all the chronograph stuff, but the Seamaster line looks spiffy.
i bought a pre owned tag carrera from jareds galleria in cary which was listed as display model never owned... when time came to sell i was asked about the serial number. i looked it over closely and there wasnt one. i took it back to jareds and they said since it was a display model it didnt have a serial number. i called tag and they said bullshit. took it back and jareds said nothing we can do. i sold it on craigslist with full disclosure for a substantial loss. you can get burned anywhere it seemsI've wanted a Tag for a long time. I'm in the market for a used one, but where to go to avoid being burned?
Anyone know what the eagle hallmark is? The watch is a SI Tabias & co. From the first quarter or so of the 19th century.
