Hi All, Putting up for sale my 2913-3 to pay for an incoming. Always thought this would be a keeper but a grail was just offered to me and you know how it goes. Dial: nice original radium dial. A few marks on the dial near the 3 oclock marker. Not noticable in most lighting conditions but look at the photos for details. Bezel: original "countdown" bakelite bezel. The countdown bezel was only seen on the first 3 sub references and is quite uncommon. Most of these bezels were replaced so finding one with the original intact is getting pretty hard! Bracelet: comes with a 7077 bracelet with correct original 6 end links. All expansion links work great and band is quite tight. Movement: serial is 16.297.xxx. Confirmed by extract of archives and dates to 1959 delivered to Singapore. Miscellaneous: few months after I purchased this I was informed by the original seller he found the box and Aqualung US dive strap the watch came with when he bought it. Box is a correct early seamaster 300 box but I cannot confirm it came with the watch. Box has some damage on the hinge and could use a repair. Hands: this one is tough... the watch is a 2913-3 which was a transitional so both small arrow hands and broad arrow hands are correct for this reference. The watch has the earlier countdown bezel so I feel broad arrow hands would be more correct for the watch, but the current hands match the dial so I think they are originals. I did find a set of broad arrow hands which I have but have not yet attached. I will offer gbe buyer their choice on the hands. The broad arrow hands with the countdown bezel would match the re-edition release perfectly if thats what you are going for! Price: I am asking 23,000 USD. Watch is located in Hong Kong and ships via DHL Express. I accept wire or PayPal + 4% for the fees. Any questions please PM and happy to help! If you have instagram I have a video of the watch up there you can check out. My name there is sweeping_seconds. Kind regards, Mike Extract: Box: Movement: Bezel: Broad arrow hands: More photos:
Awesome Dero. Can you post some more pics related to the bracelet? Date (if any) on the inner buckle. Length and number of double springy links. Close up of #6 links, .Single or double notched? Do all springs work? GLWS!
Yes, can do. It has no date. Single notched #6s.All springs work perfectly. If you check my IG I have a video of the springs in action. Not sure how to put it here.
Sorry! Actually double notched not single. Just took the watch out to take some photos of the bracelet. Open to offers on this one. Would really like to sell by the weekend so make an offer!
I was alerted the broad arrow hands may actually be hands for a Ranchero. I will remove them from the sale so just the small arrow hands are included. Thanks for looking.
