    Hello All,
    For sale is my 165.014 straitlug Omega Seamaster 300. It carries a 20 million serial number and a 64 case back, putting production in or around 1964.

    Case: Excellent condition case with some wear from use. The bezel is original and in impeccable condition.


    Dial: Excellent tritium dial in fantastic condition.


    Bracelet: Excellent later replacement 1067 flat link bracelet with the correct and difficult to find #6 end links. All springs work and the bracelet has little to no stretch.


    Accessories: None



    The watch has no current service history and is winding, setting, running well. Overall a very clean example, of a rare and stunning reference.


    $16,000 USD or $14,000 USD for head only, minus the bracelet/end links. Paid via wire and shipped overnight in conus. Overseas will be at cost. Three (3) day return will be granted to established conus members, minus freight. All overseas deals will be final.


    Thanks!
    Nathaniel

    Would you take payment by monthly installments over four years?

    Asking for a friend.

    Considering the eye-opening value and the fact that I chose to wear my 2913 today, quite a bit! Think it'll be spending more time safely in the watch box from now on, if it's worth this much :oops:

    Beautiful piece, GLWS

    I can take some tomorrow if the watch is still available. That said.....pics 8-14 show the insert pretty clearly.

    Not clearly enough, IMHO, to be certain if your bezel is original. There are numerous threads, on OF, comparing original vs restored 2913, 14755 and 165014 bezels. The differences are clear only at 10x (or more) magnification. To be candid, the serifs that appear to be attached to some of your bezel digits are of concern.

    Lastly, do you have an Omega abstract to verify the reference and movement number?

    they show all the right characteristics, its defiantly not an Aldo bezel....click on the images and the click again to see full res.
    A macro would answer without a doubt...but Ive never seen a reproduction with these characteristics.

    You don't see these come up for sale very often, especially in this condition.

    As requested @gemini4. Not my best work but they certainly answer the question. Not only genuine but extremely nice.
