    Hi everyone

    Came across this watch and I had to buy it !



    BE531372-68F7-4C26-A25F-10706C42C943.jpeg



    Classic 34 mm First generation Seamaster case !
    But not with a bumper movement !! No sir!

    The it has the last of the sub seconds full rotor automatics 19j caliber 491 in all its glory !!! Unless you fast forward to the coaxial autos from 10 years ago ...

    Plus I love the monotone steel hands and dial markers !!!


    Good hunting

    It's hard to beat a fat lug Seamaster!

    Bravo Bill. I do love a fat lug. I have a couple myself (one a 2577 bumper and the other a full rotor 2846), they do wear nicely for a classic size piece, it’s the heft I think.

    And another, rather less pristine! I really must take a better picture, I post this too often:

    Nice one, Bill!

    No other vintage watch cases deserve the (excellent) characterization "beefy" as much as these Seamasters.

    I'm a sucker for a sub second dial. Very nice Bill.
