Hi Folks:
A friend of mine inherited this beauty. Trying to date it and get a ballpark on value assuming it is fully operational.

Many Thanks!

Look up sold or for sale prices on eBay for omega seamaster 321 chronograph.

Probably from the 60s and probably not solid gold. Looks nice nonetheless.

This is certainly post 1955 as it is a 105.001 based on lugs and dial, etc. And it is for sure not solid gold. 14K/18K models came in solid casebacks, so this is most likely gold-plated (less desirable - unless mint) and gold-capped (slightly more desirable). But value-wise these would trail the solid steel and obviously the solid gold ones. These are worth right around the 3K US$ mark presently.

Gold-filled IMO. We need better photos if you really want an attempt at valuation since there appears to be condition issues with the gold-plating. If there is brassing on the lugs, it will kill the value. Hopefully I'm wrong and the plating is intact.

I believe yours is gold-plated with a stainless steel caseback. Here's one just like it on eBay--in rough shape--going for $4k.

It has "T SWISS T", so it has to be post-1961. I agree about the price - I have seen 321 Seamaster go for quite little on auctions.
