These 4 all arrived the past 2 months. I'm now on a 2 year ban from watches, but I happily agreed to it to get the Seamaster 300 Heritage.

1950s manual wind Seiko Marvel

Holy S🤬 Dan that is a beautiful lot. I especially love the arrowhead Connie and the one with the subseconds.

The cases have seen some polishing, but they are decent. The hand-winder is a 1953 ref 2890 (36mm) with a cal 266, and it has a really nice dial. That's my favorite of the group and I imagine I'll keep that one.

This is my most recent acquisition. With the exception of the aftermarket crystal, I'm pleased to wear this 66/67 300.
I really wasn't looking for it, but had to have it 😀

Very cool. Is that an original Omega Holzer bracelet? The condition of the watch is quite nice. Congrats!

Yes, it a Holzer ( as I've learned from this group) and quite comfy on the wrist.

·Mar 12, 2025·I don't see any option in settings or profile

Just in from Austria today.

Somewhat beat up case, movement in need of service, but untampered with a clean dial.
Found an original NOS Omega strap in the drawer. Hope you think it matches the watch.
Edit: The keen observer will notice that the lower lug holes are unevenly drilled! That was a new one for me.

Incredible! Auction or private? A find that we mere mortals can only dream of.
Agree about the hand wound. A stunner ❤️

Been wanting to try Unimatic for a while, and I like Todd Snyder, so picked up one of these recent colllabs. Pretty thick watch, needs a 2pc strap as the dbl nato is too much height. And 22mm to boot.
I remember @abrod520 had the Unimatic SOYUZ chrono for sale a while back...I'll likewise see how the screw down chronograph works. SEIKO mecaquartz; reverse panda and color scheme are nice; hour markers vs large lume plot markers interesting; the right subdial is a 24hr dial is also interesting, have never had one.

I just bought this one but sent it directly to my watchmaker for servicing. 1968 166.073 SM120. I like the rounded brushed lugs. I'm the third owner and it hasn't seen TLC for 40+ yrs

Recently purchased from a member. Not in my hands yet. With my buddy in the US. Will have to wait some more time till he gets it to my hands.

Only this last pic is mine. Other pic courtesy owners at the respective times

Relumed hands, repainted second hand, unsigned and scratched crystal, but a perfect dial.

I would personally request many, many more pictures of that Seamaster heritage.

I post a lot in the WRUW thread, but here is one I took today. I do really love this watch.

And in certain lighting, the bezel looks blue. I think it's basically a very, very dark blue. Black most of the time.

That is one of the single best pictures I have seen of the blue heritage- my word.
