Hi This is my first post in the FS session and being a non native english speaker I will ask for indulgence. My photograph macro skills are also in development so of course let know should you need better pictures. So... in order to fund a new project a need to sell few pieces of my collection. I am offering you a very nice example of Seamaster Chronograph with the 321, pink gold filled (40µ) from 1962 with Reference 105.001-62. The serial of this caliber is 19384xxx and is correct for the period. I bought this watch from the daughter of the original owner after he passed away. This piece was in a pretty bad shape as I could not even notice it was a gold capped case. I had the watch serviced by a former Omega watchmaker to get it into this nice vintage look. Let's look at pictures first The watch is in overall good condition but the case has suffered the most from the former owner with some dings on the left side and a nice round scratch on the caseback The dial has been refinished by the watchmaker who serviced it and looks in excellent conditions now. Hour and minute leaf hands are original and match perfectly the pink gold of the case and indices as much as the flat foot signed crown and pushers. Black chrono hands are in good conditions. The 321 cal has been serviced last time in january 2016 and works very well. The chronograph resets perfectly at 12. The serial matches the correct period. I am asking for this rare and nice pink gold filled chronograph 3.400 € + shipping (payment via bank transfer only). I am based between Paris and Berlin so of course F2F is possible. I do not accept return but will do all pictures and videos wanted to show the watch is perfectly working conditions. If anything looks undisclosed or suspicious do not hesitate to PM me. I have only been buying watches so far and unfortunately for me not on this forum so I don't have any feedback to share but I will provide all needed documents to the potential buyer. Thank you to the OF for the space and to all contributors for the knowledge they share every day
Sorry - it is not a "gold capped" (200microns gold on steel) case but a gilt / plaque d´or (40 microns gold on brass). rgds - h.u.
Sure the dial has been repainted by a professional watchmaker. Here is a picture of the watch when I received it: I think it's a "little" bit better with a restored dial rather than this, don't you think?
When I got this watch restored I did not know much about reluming... if I had to do it again I would probably have the hands relumed indeed. I don't feel this is a big problem for this kind of reference but now you are talking about it of course if it's a deal breaker I am sure we could find a solution
Indeed it's missing on the dial too but my previous answer is also valid for the dial too. Should you be interested in it, I will have it relumed the color of your choice...
