Right in time for Christmas! Vintage Omega Seamaster

Needs an overhaul, but I like it. Every time I pull out the crown to try setting the time, the second hand goes crazy and haywire.





Quite dusty and gunky:







Movement is rough:



This is the part that keeps spinning when I set the time, I don't think that's normal.

Welcome to the date at 6 club Kyle. These are great and uncommon watches with nice bumpers (353/355) inside. Here is mine. BTW, both the bowler and the clover leaf crowns are commonly found on these 2627, 2757 date at six watches.
Here is mine:

Hello Kyle!! Nice Christmas find!!
Needs a bit of cleaning, and movement overhauling, but an interesting type, with lots of character.
Hope you will make a nice restoration and will enjoy it so much.
Merry Christmas my young friend!!
Very cordially, Abel
