    It's time to let a few cherished ones go, and this will be the first one.

    A yellow gold capped circa 1953 beauty, it is running well and keeping good time although I have no service history.

    Sweet patina here as you can see in the dial pics, and, looks as though the hands stood still for a while in the past, as there is a little radium burn at the 10 o'clock position. For me, it added a unique charm that drew me to this watch. The 34.6mm case appears to be in fine condition, and the dial is one of my favorites, with gold arrows and the 2-4-8-10-12 configuration. The crystal has no scratches or cracks to my eye.

    Please look at the pictures carefully, as they are part of the description.

    now $650 ... includes the leather strap (good condition, etched mini-Seamaster logo buckle), shipping to the continental US, and PayPal. I will be happy to answer any questions, or provide additional pictures, just ask :)

    Sales will be final, unless the watch was somehow misrepresented.

    Cristos71, the previous owner, was much better at photography, and I think he was able to bring out more of this watch's beauty. He gave me permission to post his photos here as well:

    I am selling with a different strap than this one; it comes with the one you see in my own pics within the ad entry.

    There was a call for some wrist shots, so you will see those now in the first photo, and the last three. Buckle shot, too.
