The second gen Seamaster 300s differed in several ways, h . . .
. . . the movement being the most significant (cal 552 vs cal 501 in the CK2913), but also the case (twisted lugs vs solid), bezel (wider, and without the 'eye'), crown, and probably a few more, these being the obvious differences right off the top of my head.
Cordially,

Wednesday picture - Omega Railmaster Co-Axial ...
Team, Got it few weeks back and I'm truly impressed by the amazing simplicity and outstanding accuracy of the "old" 2405 Co-Axial movement. Zero deviations after few days on my wrist and watch drawer. 1) Against the beautiful Fall blue sky: 2) A B&W p...
Great shots!
I hope that Sir Graham just took sabbatical nothing less nothing more My choice would be Sir Graham's big one but that's just megalomaniac me :) Sincerely D
The leviathan Graham . . .
. . . and Melvyn (twice!) owned was really a different genus, Nilo. The manual winding movement in that iteration was derived from a Unitas 6498 ébauche. I was extremely close to getting one of the 36 mm versions . . . . . . which was a perfect fit on my ...
Two options ...
Art, Or the watch on your wrist is not the 36mm or your wrist is thinner that I was believing. Anyway, it's a pure watch and a manual wind one can be more pure. Cheers, Nilo
Nice instructional shots and interesting to peek - or guess- about next year's iterations.. ;))
I\'m currently deliberating about the new SM 300 Co-axials.. - Still Steel/black vs Ti/ blue - not yet fully decided, so far. A bit a pity, that there is no blue in steel.. Also a bit undecided as of prize difference, especially so, as the Ti version is n...
Very nice! :)
Me at work yesterday... Didn't have time to post until now! Best Blomman ...
Really like this one from "Holy Trinity" (?!).. Although a bit blurred pic, still very recognizable !..
I\'m still on my hunt for a decent SM 300, (2913, or more realistically 165 014, maybe alternatively 165 024) ! Quite a number of "empty" kilometers so far.. But at same time I\'m interested in the modern (2015?) Seamaster Co-Axial, blue dial / Titanium.....
I don't know what is happening but ...
The 165 024, that was quite common here, just vanished!!! I'm hunting one but so far, after months and months ... nothing. Cheers, Nilo
Thx for the Kind info !.. Indeed, Last 2 years in my realm/ City no decent SM 300 sighted.. ;))
So my quest continues.. Also good luck for your own hunt !! Thx again & Best, hs
Yes, the CK 2914 part of the Holy Trinity...
And if you find your 2913 - well the next logical step would be 2914! ;) For the step after that, 2915 - that's when it starts to get really tricky! Best Blomman
1Q be allowed: what in fact is difference between SM 2913 & SM 165.014 ( apart from 2913 being the earlier= 1st SM); obviously apart from the hands ( mvmt ?)
.. Have tried to check in Forum Search, but no quite successful, yet !.. Sorry, my ignorance - I think to remember that yours is a 2913 ( with Lollipop) and Nico\'s is also 2913 (?!). I think, I\'ve recently located one 165.014, but the correct bezel is m...

I think you got most of it, Art!
The 165.014 you show, HS, have the straight lugs. The bezel is there, but the inlay is gone... Also the dial feature different indexes, broader, non sharp teeth. Candle stick hands. To find a new bezel inlay is not easy... What I haven't figured out yet i...
Hello Nilo! I regret not having viewed this post before...
... to add my comment. I have been after a vintage Railmaster for a long time without finding one in good condition and price. Always in love with the dial of the Railmaster I looked for the modern rendtion in 36,2 or 39,2 case but coudn´t find one either...
I bet that there will be a Railmaster "vintage" around...
The case, should be similar to the SM 300 Master (straight lugs). Meanwhile, I'm very happy with the 41mm case size (I feel small watches ... too small). Cheers, Nilo
