Selling this nice Omega Seamaster 300 with reference 165.024-63 in need of some TLC.

The watch is all original to the best of my knowledge, except for the short minute hand which came off a 166.073. It has what I believe is the original flat feet logo crown. The black dial has what seem to be slight humidity stains which actually look cool paired witha very nice set of pumpkin colored hour markers. Not perfect by any means but giving a lot of character.

The caliber 552 movement has a 20 million serial number and is currently running, it should clean up nicely. It does have a different bronze tone on the serial number bridge.

The acrylic bezel is in good condition, with only a couple of minor imperfections, mainly a small blow at the 20 minute mark. The crystal has lots of crazing and no Omega logo.

The case shows signs that the watch has been used and enjoyed, but it looks quite attractive nonetheless with only one large scrape in the lower left side. The caseback has the Semonster logo and has a fair share of toolmarks with signs of polishing.

Watch ships from Ecuador. I am asking $3000 including worldwide shipping by DHL. If you are in the US no extra fees should be expected, import duties to the EU/UK can usually be kept under 50€.

Fairly recent references are available here in the Forum. Thanks for looking and thanks OF for the space.

Yup, agreed. The OF bargain alert never even had a chance to go out 😉

Congrats buyer and seller!
