    Sure, but I don't know them.
    I've had a good experience with Watchguy.uk

    We have to remember that not everyone like the waiting to find the perfect watch game and therefor are happy to pay an extra premium.

    I have been having my eyes out for a Seamaster 321 Chronograph and there has not been any in good condition at the 3k EUR price point, which I have been told would be the ballpark value.

    Shuck is one of the dealers I follow as they have quite good watches offered in general. However there was one Speedmaster with a fake DON bezel offered, cant remember the resolution of this, so always always do your due diligence with any dealer ;)

    A fake DON, he can do better..like selling a Ultraman with a Chronostop Hand on it to a unversed Customer, with EOA though..go figure, how do you make 2 out of 1 Ultraman-Profit? Exactly.

    Slowest loading website in the vintage watch world. It's a truly painful experience.

    I checked the description of the Seamaster Chronos and it says tritium dial and tritium hands with both watches.

    Are those really tritium hands and lume dots as there is no T next to Swiss Made? The 14364 is out of 1960 and the 105.001 is from 1962.

    I thought this would be radium with this time.

    Any thoughts???

    Finding nice examples of these watches is difficult and has always been so as far as I can remember.

    The watches you have shown above appear to be in good condition, though there are some severe arguments concerning the service state of the movements.

    Regarding the price, it's up to you. I can still think of the times when they were sold for less than 2k. But times have changed.

    Judging by what I could see here and on the seller's website, I would vote for the first one, the 105.001-62.

    You are on a pretty good track concerning this dealer. Will happily elaborate on this topic during the weekend, when I got the time to do so.

    On a side note. Thought you were gone for good here after all. The good thing is: everyone can follow your past "achievements" here.

    As I understand it the requirement to have T on the dial to demonstrate that no radium was in there varied from country to country, and came later than the general manufacturing switch to tritium across all makes. The printed T was dropped sometime in the 1970s even while the dials and hands were still tritium.

    The official duty to declare tritium by law began in Switzerland in 1963.

    The watches from the early 1960s are often without the "T" for tritium, though it was already used.

    You should go hunting for watches instead of following conspiracy theories and contribute here the positive way, since I know from your posts that you are able to do so.

    Meet
    Meet you in the middle?

    This was made in 1993 by the serial number -- and the T is not hidden under the centre second hand, I'm wearing it this week and have just started the chrono to check.

    Perhaps for the SpeedyThatShrunkInTheWash [*] Omega felt there was not enough space for a T ???


    [*] This is not an endorsement of putting your Speedy in the the clothes wash to get the gunk out of the bracelet.

    OK
    When in doubt, don't do it.
    I will pass this time. Although, I do like those dials.

    Anyway, there's one lovely cal 320 chronograph for sale that beats these easily and we all know the seller :)
