·My watchmaker told me that he has gotten brand new watches from dealers that sat in stock so long they didn’t work when they pulled them out to sell- always dried up oils- guess it’s not uncommon.

·A couple of years ago I bought a 1968 (according to extract) 165.024 from the original owner with 1972 sale date on the original filled papers.
Especially in a case like this where we're talking about a rugged tool watch sold from a high street jewelry store at the beginning of the quartz era, I see nothing odd about it.

·The box is just a standard Tiffany one, used for watches they sold at the time. It's not an Omega box. The only paperwork is the Tiffany receipt.
And can someone read there anywhere Seamaster 300?? I can't. That dial looks very very strange

·Can't believe I missed this thread before. This is very intriguing, It would be great if this was really traced back to a Tiffany dial SM300.Very cool.

Its actually quite common...and not unique to watches. I have a Leica Lens from the 70's that was NOS still sealed in the original box with the outer cellophane covering and Leica seals intact...I resisted the temptation to open it for years...when I finally did both the iris and focus were completely frozen up...would budge. I sent it to my favorite Leica specialist and he said the oil was completely dried up. After a overhaul and new grease...it works like new.

·Badass, naw - just a guy doing a job. I lost the 'stash about a year later in a fire.
Freddie Mercury - wow I never thought about that. He was kick-ass showman and musician, a great loss.
Thanks for the compliments.

·It was a blowback from a balky field immersion heater - burned my 'stash and took my eyebrows off. Nothing heroic about it.
