·Hi everybody! Not new to the forum, but have not been posting much although my main focus is vintage Omegas. The Seamaster 321 caught my interest early and I bought one in 2008. For my wedding actually. Divorced now, but still got the watch. 😗
Here are some pictures of it, a 145.005 from 1967, gold plated (40 microns, quite thick). Top pusher changed sometime down the line, a tad bigger. Also suspect the hour marker at 9 to be missing, but all-in-all a nice piece, IMHO:
These pictures are taken with an old catalog as the background. My attempt to do "60s promo style" pictures. 😀 The size is perfect the way I see it, but it works best for me with a shirt, not short sleeves or t-shirt:
this one taken last week, so I still wear it regularly. Did get a good deal when I bought it, but have to admit, not exactly a great investment moneywise. But still, 11 years of horological joy, guess that is priceless. 👍

·I just saw that my local watch friend @SpaceCowboy posted his beautiful 321 here.
So now, I have to show you mine
Ref 105.001, also gold plated. I will have the crystal polished later.

·Glad to see another 105.001 with the same dial... the Seamaster "font" is different than the later editions (ie 105.004 discussion)
I thought my dial has been refinished during its last service as my (former) watchmaker mentioned and made me pay extra for it 😡 but it looks like he just cleaned it... which is definitely better I admit 😀

·Great lugs on that 14364.
I have seen a variety of the Seamaster Chronos with stick subdial hands and alpha H/M. And then some have all Alpha hands. And there seems to be a few options for dial types as well. Is there a resource out there that elaborates on these topics?

Also this one discuss all the references. https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-seamaster-321-reference-s.50866/
Most of them came in a number of different executions. But if you have the reference you can narrow your search here on OF and find these.
There is also the book "A journey through time", but you can find many more examples right here on OF.

·And now that I'm here I might as well add my two recent 321's 😁
The examples shown in this thead are the reason I fell in love with Omega, so pretty excited to finally own a pair myself.
A 174-3
A 145.006 Reverse Panda

I used to think 42mm was the perfect size. I would never consider 38 and smaller. Now I will barely consider 40 and not much bigger. I think the size thing is purely emotional—have someone take some pics of your wrist wearing different watches—near and far. Make sure it isn’t you holding your phone. What other people see is different than what we are used to seeing.

Right on the money, I remember in the 1970's, people would complain about how big and chunky the Rolex Day-Date was on the wrist, coming in at a whopping 35mm. Now women routinely wear them. Our perceptions about watch diameter and appropriate size are mostly a fall-out of fashion swings.

·I just presented my 14364-1 in another thread. Does anyone have some genuine alpha hands for this model for sale?
Could I source the hands from this watch or are they too small/short?

·Not a Speedmaster or even an Omega (and I guess not a “321” either). Lots of toning on this Lemania!

·Not sure if this has been addressed before but with the introduction of the new Omega Speedmaster 321, will that make parts for 321 movements more readily available?

this has been discussed here before - as things stand the aura of exclusivity omega is trying to project for the newly reissued 321 movement has resulted in newly manufactured parts being unavailable.
