1963 Seamaster 300 F.A.P

I have already presented this watch here a couple of years ago, but I really don't wear it often.


So taking it from the bank for some wrist time was also the opportunity to take some new pictures and read some old articles

The Beast...




the detail that makes a difference...




the pedigree...








some good reading...




more good reading...




the mandatory wristshot...

First because it is slightly different from the 2913, then because of its military background... Very nice " dans son jus " Seamaster 300, Jeff. Best, Nicolas

Stunning

Hello Jeff! These old Seamasters are among...

... my favorite diving watches. They are difficult to find down here, though I know they came in good number. I guess original owners and their descendants do not want to get rid of them! Now, to find a FAP SM 300, is a really GREAT find! I just love it! ... 

My pleasure Abel

Thats a very rare document Jeff, and look at the discount they military got compared to the public price. It would be great if we ever found out how many were supplied and how many didnt make it out alive(the watches i mean, not the divers). G On 1 Apr 20... 

Wow Jeff! That´s a rare and so interesting document!!...

What a beauty!
