Of course most people know that, but for some while I viewed early Seamaster 321's simply as potential donors for ailing speedmasters. Several years ago I bought this and put it in the safe for future need. Then I got a call from the workshop to say they were now swimming in 321 parts, and could fix anything. So this meant I no longer need a "reserve" 321 and so I decided to send this in. I dont know too much about these, but I can tell you its back home, fully serviced for an all in cost of £1600, including the purchase, service - and strap!.
That isnt bad for a guaranteed 321, I know that these seamsters get advertised without history for $3000 - 4000+ but I really dont think they sell. I may not be comparing like for like - there seem to be many references carrying the seamaster name and a Speedmaster era 321.
Instructions were to service, clean the case and give a light polish. Keep original hands and dial, do not refurbish them in any way - apart from removing any loose material.
For some reason the dial shows slightly more yellow than in life. I have much to learn about watch photography.
I would love to see others?
