No problem. It's a reference 135.007 Seamaster 30 with a caliber 286 movement. Quite a minty example too. The bracelet is an 1168 with 605 endlinks. The bracelet is a rare bird.
The watch was sold in China in 1964 which is curious given the political situation there in that era. I wouldn't have imagined there would have been a large market for Omega.

Perhaps it was delivered to an Embassy in China? Also, in those days much of the world still recognised the Republic of China (Taiwan) as the 'real' China (as a few countries still do), so could have been delivered there.

Nice shots and since it's scrap I would be happy to pay double what the scrap yard price would be .... but you cover shipping.... of course. Lol

It'd be fascinating to know the truth.
