Im not in the market for an early SM300 and I recall watching the last few minutes of that auction and having to sit on my hands to stop throwing a bid in.

Worth at least double IMHO

Worth at least double IMHO

As I mentioned that’s not been a very rare result. Some deals to be found in that range.

Well I'm going to come out of my self-imposed abstinence and start loading up on these....one things for sure they ain't making them anymore and it is a classic early reference. Just look at the prices of the other 291x trinity ref's of rail, sea and speed!

Great, first we had the hodinkee-effect, now it'll be the cristos-effect! lol

Though it was nice I would venture to say that was bit optimistic on the pricing.. but I guess it did sell.

The market is fairly soft on these and you can find a 2913-3 or similar typically for about a quarter of that if you keep your eyes peeled.

You’re right, but -3’s are fairly common, -1’s are seriously rare, less than 20 currently known, far rarer than a 2915-1 or 2914-1.

I defer to the master.. hopefully we will see it again.

It’s the 1958-59 Omega Seamaster 300
Ref: 2913-1. The Movement number was 15,706,XXX with caliber 501 (20 jewels).

In my opinion.
Dial: Original “Swiss Made” dial.
Hands: Original "Broad Arrow" hands, with some corrosion
Crown: Original signed Omega flatfeet crown





I think the movement serial number is from 1957. The first series of the Seamaster 300.


I can always be wrong.

Wow, less than 20, I didn't have a clue that they were so few and far between!......How's it going with the book, any updates at all?

It’s going very well thank you. We’ve made great progress and a lot of the work is completed, although there’s still plenty more to get to the finish line. Some interesting new facts have come to light as well…

 

[Davidt]

Can’t wait for the Seamaster book.

Any updates on a potential release date Ash or are you avoiding setting any ‘deadlines’ for now?

That's good to hear! Any ideas regarding a publishing date....I think I speak for many when I say I'm dying to order my copy.

In your opinion, this effect on the dial is not due to the application of the lacquer.
