I purchased this Seamaster about 4-5 months ago because it had a very uncommon bracelet on it which I needed for my '62 Speedmaster so its now on a generic leather strap (just a cheap one, everyone has their own preference with respect to straps so I didn't want to buy an expensive one for it).

The watch was in lightly used condition when I bought it, but hadn't been messed with, redialed or polished heavily, I took it to my watchmaker who handles all my vintage pieces and he gave it a full movement service (I instructed him not to polish it to maintain the sharp edges to the case). I haven't actually worn it at all since the service except to try it on for some photos.

Its stainless steel, with a vertical brushed dial that really looks nice and date at three.

Its a hidden crown model, which means the bezel of the watch is slightly wider and covers part of the crown, if you rotate a lot of watches and have no fingernails it can sometimes be difficult to get the crown out, but if you have nails or only wear one watch you'll be fine.

* The movement is a Calibre 562 automatic with date

* Reference is ST 166.003

* Watch has been freshly serviced a couple of months ago

* Case size is aproximately 35.5mm

* Case is Stainless Steel

* Generic strap and clasp fitted

Price is $675 USD + Shipping (EMS Express will be used) or face to face in Brisbane / Gold Coast
