·For sale is a “His ‘n’ Her” pair of superb Seamaster Mariner IIIs from the 80s.
Both come with boxes (incl. white outer card slips) and International Guarantee booklets - these haven’t been completely filled out, but both have been stamped by the same Frankfurt jeweler and are both dated October 8, 1987. In addition, the booklets have the removed bracelet links for each watch taped to the inside (see pictures below).
The Mariner III doesn’t present itself in this condition very often, so to find a matchIng pair is something a bit special.
The gents’ model is cal. 1420 and measures approx 27x37mm. However, it wears bigger than the dimensions might suggest due to the bracelet being approx. 24mm at the watch. It is currently sized with a fair bit of slack for my 6.75-ish wrist, and comes with 3 additional links.
The ladies’ model is cal. 1380 and measures 22x30mm. The bracelet on this one is approx. 18mm at the watch. This one also comes with 3 additional links.
CONDITION:
Both pieces are in great shape and keeping excellent time (I’m not sure when the batteries were last replaced - the watches have been in my possession just over a week). Overall, the watches are extremely clean and sharp with just a very few minor marks on bracelets and case backs. There is some slight scratching to the polished top plates on both watches, but in most lights, this is imperceptible to the naked eye. Please note the scratches at the bottom edge of the gents’ plate in particular, but again, this is invisible in most shots...
RETURNS
Please study the pictures carefully - they form the main part of the description. I’m sorry, but I would rather not accept returns - please ask for additional pictures/angles before buying. I’m confident gross misrepresentation is highly unlikely and so I believe requests for returns must be equally unlikely.

The watches and I are located in Japan - transfer to my Japanese bank account is also possible.
The buyer is, of course, responsible for any and all customs charges at their end.

REFERENCES:
• This is only my second sale on OF (the first is OHPF due to COVID shipping delays).
• I have received positive feedback here as a buyer:
https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-is-a-great-seller.49821/
• I also have 100% positive feedback as a seller on eBay as “kenji414”
• Apart from that, many long-term and esteemed OF members will know me as “StevieMac1040”on Instagram (“100% Omega Content”!). I have frequent communication by DM with several of these members.
• Finally, while no longer an active participant, I had over 5,000 posts on the WUS Omega forum as “Ken G” from 2012 to 2019.
While I accept this isn’t the best reference section ever, I hope the above goes some way in helping to “buy the seller”...
Thanks for looking and thanks to OF for the space.
