    Posting this '56 SM KX6275 [ref 2849 equivalent] on behalf of my friend, who acquired it in trade a few months ago. I acquired it in late 2012 from the estate of the original owner, and had it serviced by my watchmaker. It has under 500 hours of use since then. Entirely original, including the crown, which I was able to verify by comparison with an identical reference listed on eBay with a movement number a few dozen digits removed. Hour and minute hands lost their centerfill during the cleaning process; every other aspect (save the mainspring) is intact, even the crystal.

    Bracelet is 14 kt gf from the same time frame, with steel end pieces plated by my watchmaker. It will only fit a slender wrist. Additional photos and info available upon request.

    Asking $1200 with bracelet, or $1000 head only. No trades, please.

    Thanks,

    Art

    [Note: just heard from the current owner that the bracelet fits his 7 1/4 inch wrist, and there's five more settings available.]

    [Withdrawn as of June 1st]

    I've re-acquired this Seamaster, so it's no longer available.

    Perhaps you should change the title prefix to withdrawn.
