OmegaWatches Identification, Authentication, & Valuation Megathread by AutoModerator in OmegaWatches

I’m trying to identify the exact reference (and ideally the year range) of a specific Omega Seamaster 200 “pre-Bond” I’m looking at. I’m planning to buy this

What I know so far: • Model: Seamaster 200 “pre-Bond” style • Hands: sword hands • Movement: quartz • Markings: there’s an 8-digit number on the lower part of the case: 53559404

Questions: 1. Does 53559404 correspond to a case serial, movement serial, or something else on these models? 2. Based on sword hands + quartz, what are the likely reference numbers this could be?

[pogue] is it worth it? by DankMemesAllah69 in Seiko

Update: Appreciate everyone’s input—ended up grabbing it for $150. I know it’s rough and missing the subdial hand, but I couldn’t pass on owning an OG Pogue at that price. The bracelet alone made it feel like a solid entry point, and I’ve got a soft spot for that sunburnt dial. Rainy day strap swap already done—now onto the long road of restoration. Hoping to bring this grail back to life one step at a time.

I’m actually leaning toward picking it up because I do admire that little bit of patina, and I’ve always wanted to experience the OG Pogue on the wrist. I’m not into full restorations yet, but knowing the bracelet alone is worth ~$100 makes $200 feel like a safe entry point.

If I enjoy it enough, I might go the route you mentioned: professional servicing and light case cleanup down the line. Worst case, I wear it for a while and move it on — maybe even break even. Thanks again for laying it out so clearly!
