Well here it is, about a year after I decided I wanted one. It turned up at the office this morning and I snapped a quick BB pic:

Very pleased with it. There are a couple of minor marks on the bezel insert but the rest (including the clasp) is immaculate. I haven't seen another in anywhere near this condition.

Loving the sword hands and the red accents, and the lume is great. :D

Great looking watch, I love the double color on the bezel, the wave design which is classic SMP, and the hands. Just awesome! Congrats on the new acquisition, ENJOY!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. A very sharp looking watch, love the GMT hand and the dial, bezel - well everything - very nice pick up!

Thanks guys, really enjoying this one. :D

It has run at about -4 seconds over the first day, so (just) within COSC specs. I might look at getting a regulation and a pressure test done, once the novelty has worn off and I can bear to part with it for a while.

Really sharp. Kind of a renaissance for past model Seamasters around here. For the money, compared to what newer watches cost, it makes sense. Congrats.
