路Alright, longtime reader, first time poster so I'm gonna finally dive in here folks... I wasn't in the market for this at all, but came across it in the last couple minutes of an Ebay auction yesterday and, lo and behold, my trigger finger acted all by it's little lonesome! Imagine that! I really didn't know much about the few models affectionately referred to as "Sparkly," but below is what looked to be an extremely clean example of the C-Case style (I think 166.064?) w/Cal 565 and 1170 bracelet.
Here's my yet to be delivered C-Case SS "Sparkly":
This will be my 4th Seamaster (I also have a SS/14K Seamaster Deville monocoque w/date and a gorgeous even patina that I bought from the widow of the Orig Owner -- needs new crystal and overhaul; a stop sign shaped Day/Date SS Seamaster that was NOS/never worn when I bought it, still in box w/sticker on the back and the hang tag on the original black leather strap and buckle; and a GP 176.007 that is in good overall shape (some discoloration marks on the C-Case), serviced about a year ago right before I bought it and keeps excellent time/all functions work BUT the movement on the opposite side of the crown and pushers won't stay seated against the case and jiggles/flops -- any help on how to remedy this would be appreciated as I've had the movement, crown, tach and crystal all out of the case trying to figure it out!!!)
Pleasure to meet you all and I look forward to actually being an active member of this online community as opposed to the passive reader I have been for the last year or so!
