1955 Black Dial SS Seamaster 2846 caliber 501

Bought more watches than I should have, and now it's time to pay the piper. Since I have two caliber 501 Seamasters, this one lost the coin toss a few weeks ago and is on the block but I've been delaying parting with it. As most of you know, black dials are tough to shoot so forgive any lint you see - this dial is fantastic.




The gold crown and crystal retainer make the dial furniture really pop. The case does have some minor imperfections but nothing that wouldn't keep anyone from wearing it. They're barely noticeable in person. I tried to emphasize any flaws in the following pictures, and one or two mark are reflection from the crinkly paper. (doh!)






The watch was just serviced by Steve / N2FHL also…. and I mean literally just serviced as I picked it up from him last night. A new set bridge was installed too, and as you can see the movement is in excellent shape.





Asking $850 (which converts to £525 / €627 at today's rate) plus shipping. Offers welcome too - contact me at [email protected] or simply start a conversation with me here.

Thanks for looking!

It's not sold yet. A couple questions were answered so far.

If you mean the hippocampus logo, it would have started in the mid/late 50's with select case references.

And that was because some tapatalk issues on a new tablet. First attempt was just few minutes later.

That's impressive, but call me when you get the Hippocampus tattoo 😁

It's now officially SOLD - going to a forum member as you can see from above.

Thanks!

Nice work Mr. Photoshop. 👍
