    Rather than pollute the WRUW thread but still share what I think is an interesting side by side.

    From top down:
    14364-2 October 1962 18946640
    14904-62 May 1963. 19583433
    105.001-62. June 1963. 19833401

    70C7C637-0893-450A-8A53-901AD2ED3EAB.jpeg 6C28EF7F-F50B-436B-A01A-F45AFC14FF39.jpeg 1726577F-F1D5-47B2-AE15-D562BC167D18.jpeg

    I think I prefer the blued chrono hands in the top watch. But even the bottom two have differently shaped subdial hands. All three appear pretty original and yet there are three different minute hand lengths and hour hand shapes.

    Other Seamaster chronos from the early 60’s?

    I’ve been badly hesitating to snag that 14364-2 off eBay a couple of weeks ago, happy to know it has landed into good hands. ;)

    I love the design of those watches, love the fact they’re powered by the cal.321 movement, but they’re just 3-4mm too small for my wrist :(

    Definitely need to find one for my GF ::love::

    Interesting to see these side by side and to see the variations between them in such a short production span. I really like these Seamasters even if they are a little on the small side by today's standards.

    Blue hands on a white dial looks best.
