    So I decided to look over the omega chronographs in my collection and this one caught my eye. Stainless steel but thought to myself, not too bad. Front is nice:

    And so is the back:

    Very nice - sort of an all-business general purpose chronograph, but not without some grace and elegance

    Don't think I've seen a NOS snot-covered Seamaster Cal 321 before, very nice indeed

    Ah, but it's not a Seamaster - it's a De Ville. ;) And I've never seen blue snot. Purple (on my 865 SM Chronostop and a few of Mike's watches) and pink I think, but blue is a new color to me.

    Nice one...the Seamaster 321s are good looking watches as well.

    De Ville's were a more cost effective line for working men, maybe blue is the colour of more economical snot

    Well, these were really seamasters - some had seamaster on the dial, some de ville and some seamaster de ville.

    Do you have any like this one? Next watch is between a Speedmaster and one of these with the thicker lugs:

    Yes have one of those in gold cap. That's an uncommon seamaster chronograph - according to Bill Sohne this was the first seamaster chronograph model (ref. 2907) though I think case ref. 2884 was even earlier. Here's a photo of mine:

    Kyle saved an old grainy pic of my 2907.

    Here is what it looks like now (with a gator strap):

    Now that I look at these pics again, I think the elapsed seconds hand (top left register) is incorrect! ::shy:: Funny that it hasn't bothered me before in over 5 years...

    Razor sharp!
    Is that a ref. 105.005 or 145.005?

    Not a seamaster! Nice 321 chronograph though. Have one of these too - those hands are correct and though the case looks polished, it's still in decent shape.

    Funny. Has that Seamaster type Screw case back.
    So this is like 1 year before the 2907 321 Seamaster.
    Agree. Case is still very sharp on this one.
