·it is because it is a redial (a repainted dial).
Please consider donating to help offset our high running costs.
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?
Hi do you mind to share more info about your watch? Because I just found a similar one with no Swiss Made wording, the only thing that stop me from buying was because of this. Could you please share more information so at least it can help me in making decision either to but the similar one that I found or not
