Omega seamaster 300 165.024-64

Hi all!
Here is for sale a 165.024-64 in extremely appealing condition 😁
It is a true drawer/barn find I bought from an estate sale I was very enthusiastic about because that’s how I like to find them…But as it happens, I have an other one in the almost exactly same configuration but and, well, you can’t keep them all 😅

It apparently sat unused for decades missing its crown. All I did was buy a new stem and a period correct flat link crown. And give the case a good ultrasonic bath because it was full of wrist cheese (and polywatch on the crystal)…

Case : very sharp lines as is the hippocampus on the caseback. Sharpest I’ve seen actually…

Crystal : original crazed Omega etched

Dial : excellent with a pumpkin patina. Very deep black, almost sparkly. Very clean original lume

Hands : lume a little lighter in shade but very clean too

Insert : original, matching patina in very good condition. Slight shock at 50

Movement : cal 552, 23.4M serial. Works but definitely needs a service. Probably hasn’t seen a watchmaker in a very long time.

I’m confident this watch will clean very well

Price : for this one, I would like 8k€ + shipping. Paiement by wire, PayPal or wise possible.
Would be willing to trade for a very nice mk2 polerouter sub.
I intended to have it serviced and keep it, I probably can have it serviced by a trusted watchmaker before selling at cost if the buyer wants

The watch is located in France, I have some easy to find reference on the forum and a perfect eBay profile I can provide to anyone interested.

Now the best part :




Thanks OF for the space. Feel free to ask for any additional picture you might want

Someone maybe bought the seamaster only book and realized he needed one of those 165.024!
And a very good one! 😁

What a beauty. I'll give you what you paid a the estate sale 😀sound good?

I'll give you abit more haha.

What make you think I paid less for it? 🫣
Many not-so-nice examples sold for more than this one, and not that long ago for some of them, so I’m quite convinced this watch is worth what I’m asking and more! How many have an unpolished case like this? 😁

But anyway, I’m reducing it to 5.8k€ as other plans are coming

Up 😀
