It would make a superb dress watch for those special occasions.
It sounds like your seamaster needs a service just as much as the dennison cased model does.
It has family history which is a perfect reason to keep it. You would be better to offload the tags which are undoubtedly quartz to pay for the servicing.

Trying to get to grips with the forum and threads at the moment and have posted on another excellent thread. I'm looking for help to identify a watch I have recently acquired from my father who died last year. Here are a couple of photos (apologies for th...
A very lovely piece indeed...........
What an absolute corker - you are lucky. I'm sure there are many on this forum who will tell you more about the movement than I can - although I can see that it has a serial number of 7 million which dates the movement to anywhere between 1920 and 1935 ac...
Brilliant!
That's fantastic information. It's worth keeping then :-) I did notice there are a few very, very feint letters and numbers hand written with a scribe on the inside of the case. Would these be significant? I understand it's a bit of a taboo on here to tal...
Additional info...
Hi, as Andrew told you already a lot about case and date I will only add information about the movement. It is a cal. 26,5 and will fit into the time range Andrew has provided. This movement was widely used in many different case References and was very r...
a very nice piece from about 80 years ago
I think Andrew and Erich have said it all about the details of the watch, i would just like to say how nice it looks. I hope you keep it in the family and you and your children enjoy it for many years to come. Regards Graham
Great Avatar!
Thanks Graham, I was thinking of selling it as there's not really any emotional attachment to it. Now that I know a bit more about it (thanks to you lot), I'll probably hang on to it as a bit of a "watch fancier". Not having any watches of particular sign...

approx. age
Just for info: This 26.5 movement (with Geneva stripes, not gilded) has only a slightly higher serial number and has 1933 as year of manufacture. cheerio, Ben. ...
The feint letters.....
Are more than likely service marks - ie after every service, the watchmaker would put a code for his/her reference. Some put a date in, so its worth checking these marks under a loupe Cheers, paul
service dates and date of birth..
You are absolutely right Paul, thanks. Of primary interest of course is the "birth" of a particular watch. For this 26.5SOB specimen the exact date (1933) was first verified in the archive documentation at Museé Omega. Then the watch was cosmetically prep...
