This is something I had in mind, too. But you did it, when I am still thinking about this project. ;) Just superb, my friend. Will you post the 165 024 trio, too? Best and thanks for the share, it is a real big pleasure, as I am a big fan of the Seamaster...

Is that the -3 can have either - I have seen examples with original bezels in both forms for this model. I believe either bezel type is correct. It's not like these bezels grow on trees so if you see -3 with an intact original bezel then it is likely that...

This is great focus, I love this first version of the Seamaster, one of the most if not the most elegant vintage diver with its thin bezel, and I love this theme as well. I have been working on a similar yet different them, which is to try and get one nic...
