I like that!!! Very nice. What model/year is that?
Thank you! It's a 1996 deville chronograph 861 caliber hand wind. The seller and others think these are from 1985 but the serial numbers say 1996.
It's a smaller watch for me but change is good and the wife will wear it to as it's very pretty.
Thank you Chriscoop.

Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.
I have a later deville with the blue hands. And what I think they called the champagne face, I bought mine from a police auction very cheap but in bad condition. Missing pushers etc and as with many police auction watches no box etc. I put it on a vintage matte lizard strap to mimic the sp third watch.

Nice. This came on a black rubber strap for some reason so I quickly stuck it on this spare brown one. Might well go for the lizard too though.

Have you had that SM300 refurbished? I completely rebuilt mine with nos parts, fitted a new big triangle face which was a mistake I think now as yours looks lovely.

i can't take credit for it as I bought it from someone on watchuseek in Jan 2015 who bought a NOS watchco kit and then had it assembled in the USA.
I did get it before they got suddenly popular and I like it a lot. Works for me.

I got some parts from watchco also, mine was my grandfathers , had been flooded, lume dropped out of hands. the movement was fine though, sent that for service and got a new face, hands, crystal and after discovering it's not possible to pop the bezel a new case. Simply love these old Seamasters the ticking they make is unique.

That looks fantastic! That looks like the perfect size. It still looks like a man's watch on you.
Thanks I like it. It's not like it's crazy small compared to others. Just more genteel.
