Hi all, Some years ago I have parted with my calibre 321 Seamaster and since I have been waiting for the moment one came for sale again. Unfortunately I have not found one yet that I really want to have so I decided to post a WTB. Depending on the price these are my wishes: Dial: Preferably white or black, I may be interested in a pristine champagne one but not in less than perfect condition. Case: As close as possible to unpolished preferred but dial is more important, and no gold plating. Bracelet: Optional but not necessary. Location: EU preferred, but US or other parts of the world are considered with experienced sellers. Below is a picture of my ideal watch just because everyone loves a picture. Kind regards from the Netherlands, Robert
Almost 3 years later but still very much interested in these, please let me know if anyone wants to part ways with their Seamaster chronographs
Redial, no? Don’t recall seeing this model with matte black dial and white text.. but correct me if I’m wrong. Edit: found this watch online, link below. lume plots are missing.. another sign of redial. https://www.acollectedman.com/products/buy-omega-seamaster-105001-cal-321-steel-watch
I´m certainly no expert on that reference, but the 5, 7, 8 hour markers are off and the subdials seem also a bit off center to the right. There seems to be even a little bit of overprint to the right on the hour totalizer (visible on the wrist shot). I further see no burn from the lume plots, that should have been there.
I have only seen two versions of the black dial of which the above is one, so perhaps indeed it might be a redial. However, as it looks very good in my opinion, I hope for it to exist. Anyway, I am also looking for the non-black dials so please if you have anything to sell, let me know.
Just seen one sell at Richard Winterton Auctioneers UK this morning, at a great price too IMO (sorry for teasing), I thought it would go for more. Although not a Seamaster, I think it's just as pretty. Especially that I own the rose gold plated version of the same watch Sold for: £2300 + 26.4% commission
To my knowledge the 105.001 should have dauphine hands. A movement with a serial starting with 24×××××× does not belong to a 105.001 which should be between 1961 and max. 1963. (the one I owned some time ago ha a 19xxxxxx. For me the it is a put together watch. Best Duffy
