Hi all,

I am looking at a Seamster 300 ref. 166024-67 and can't decide if it is a (personally) unseen configuration or a franken..

Serial is 264xxx, therefore early 1968.

THE QUESTION IS:
Most Seamster 300 date version (ref. 166024) are big triangle / sword hands
. A minority is small triangle / sword hands. However, I have not seen before a date version with small triangle and baton hands... What do you guys think? Rare or franken? Picture attached.

Many thanks!

I would not rely on that site as there are many inaccuracies on there

Sure. But at least there is a picture of a date without sword hands 馃槈

I have a omega Seamaster 300m ref 166024 sp2 from my dad who purchased his around 1969-1970 time frame. Never touched and it has date big triangle and baton hands which seems very rare to me cause all the ones I saw on the internet are with sword hands. You can see it鈥檚 picture below
