That's stunning! A jumbo?

Sorry for the delay in answering: yep, a Jumbo bumper from around 1949, cal 332 in a 2482 case. RG plated case and furniture, 37.5 x 44.5 mm, not including crown-lovely size in a vintage. Original everything on this guy...ok, the strap is new. I thank my good enabler X350 XJR for this not so little beauty!

That is beautiful! What ref. and movement does it have? Never seen anything quite like that before.

Thank you, it´s one of my favourites too!

It is a bumper cal. 352 dating from 1950 IIRC. Being French cased it does not have a reference number only a case number and the eagles head hallmarks for 18kt.

Although not signed Seamaster on the dial it definitely has Seamaster DNA running all the way through it with a great similarity to the Swiss cased ref 2520 as can be seen here.

Here is a great post on the subject of cal 352 Seamasters with lots of good reference pictures from Purists

Speedking (ref. 6020) today. Needless to say, from a time when acceptable watch sizes were much different than they are today.

What a clean, sharp piece. Nice snag.

Great macro - it really illustrates the quality of design and construction in the dial furniture. All I'd ask for is modern gilt waffles.
