Looking for a watch similar to this for my collection. Can be on beads of rice bracelet or leather band. Particularly like the beefy lugs on these early Seamasters..especially 342-344..







I also don't mind the aged look..patina on these looks awesome!
Inbox me if you're looking to flip one!

 

Have you take a look at MSNwatch listing:

It's even in a more rare Ranchero case.

 

This one looks original but can't be sure. A similar dial and a 344.

So much for hoping to get that one cheap. Aaaah, no big deal!

 

By the way, the seller is open to offers. I haven't offered anything yet, but if somebody does want it there's no harm in throwing a number at him.

 

They are 2576, powered by cal 342

 

Thanks guys - have to admit it was Kyles 344 that I fell in love with. But I'm willing to get one with 'less age' In the dial and wait a few years! or hurry up the dial ageing process somehow?! It's such a beautiful dial and case. So simple..Also really suits the steel beads bracelet..will take the plunge and buy one with 'character'. I think msnwatch's ranchero case version is lovely too..hmm decisions...

 

That's the actual type I was looking for with the clover crown...yum.

 

Guys....this only ships to the US! :'(

 

Mike will ship out of the US.

 

Think I'm looking for an automatic example

 

What do you think of the 344 on eBay ?



Here's a close up of the dial..there's a mark @8

 

There are marks all over that dial, but that's the norm for those. If it can be bought under $400, maybe $450 you're doing fine.

 

Don't wanna chance it if you have one!

 

Fresh out! Honestly, I'd take another look at Mike's manual wind. Less to go wrong, easier to find parts, and usually cheaper to service/maintain.

 

It's just the particular dial & case shape I like..I'm getting too fussy! It's also a little bit more..

 

Have you seen Kyles? It's got that 'aged' look that really suits the SS cases..this one actually looks less aged (more marks) but that worries me..photos can be so deceptive..
