Hello together!

I like the old Seamasters with cal. 321 very much but I am always confused about the arrows in the tachymetre scale. I have found different executions. Can somebody educate me which kind of arrow is correct? Or is it just a matter of the production year? I have found arrows with fine "feathers", thick feathers or just a block as it can be seen in the collage attached. Are some of them just redials?
Thank you very much in advance!

 

Nobody out there who can help?
I have this Seamaster in mind:

What do you think of the dial? Is it original?

Sorry, until now no other photos...

 

What is the reference. Compare to others online

 

That is the problem. Seller is a little bit away and does not know very much about the watch (even if it is a 321! But this I am pretty convinced of). If I search for other Seamasters, I find very different executions like in the examples above. That's why I ask here because I thought that some people here may have the same model and can give advice.

 

This is a 320 movement . It looks to me as though wasn't he arrow was dependant on the year and who was setting the dial up for printing.
I am no expert but yours looks ok.

 

I have a cal 320 ref 2278-3, which has a feathered tail. With that said, I know very little about these early chronographs, but when I google the reference, I get several different dial variations?

 

The dial has concentric circles which is good. Fonts appear original. You need the pic to include the "Swiss Made" at the 6

 

Ive read an article on this some time ago. The problem is, of course, I can't remember where. I have just searched through Chuck Maddox' articles thinking that might have been the place, but no joy.

All I remember from the article (because these aren't really an area of interest to me, I was just reading round the subject of redials), is that there were four examples - all those with the "feathers" were genuine while one example with a blocked out tail was shown to be a redial. I know that doesn't help much but perhaps knowing the article is out there, you might be able to find it. (BTW, just for what it's worth - that example looks good to my poor eyes).

 

Here is a snap of my early KO2907 with 321 if that helps... quite "fat" fond on the feathers.

 

First of all, thank's so much to all of you!

Yes, that is exactly what I think. There are several variations. My guess is that the shape of the arrow depends on the year. That makes it difficult to me. Your photo is great, I think the arrows are the same.

Exactly. That is what I have in mind. blocked arrow: repaint, feathers: original. But I am not sure if I read it or if it was just my imagination.

The seller is killing me with his bad photos... I asked for good highres photos. But I get photos out of focus, overexposed, low res.
However, the swiss at the bottom appears. Seems correct to me.

 

I forgot yours. Shape is different, but interesting that the font is quite fat on the tachymetre scale. Quite similar to the one I have in mind. Thanks.

 

A TT dial. Could be a 105.001,2,5 variant?

 

That was a good hint. Seems to be a 105.005.65
A similar watch was discussed 3 years ago.

Still the arrow is in question as it is thicker than the one in that thread. But it seems ok.

Thanks so much for the help!

 

it took some time, but finally it arrived.
Thanks to everyone who helped!

 

Congrats!!

 

Nice one! Thanks, I learnt something from your thread OP!

 

Sweet!

 

the only thing, that troubles me here, is that the Seamaster does not seem to be centered...... picture angle ? kind regards. achim

 

You are right. The S is closer to the subdial than the r. I think it is due to the sublime?

Or do you think it is a redial?

 

Update: I finally opened the caseback. It is a 145.005 67. Serial dates it to 1967. Movement 321 was never touched 321 by a watchmaker.
What would be the correct watch box for it?
