Thanks. Keeping it as safe as my wallet. It is strapped to my wallet.   I can't just let the sexy sits in the safe. Not now 

I find vintage watch is really delicate. Must be babied otherwise it will "complain". And functionally it is not as advance as the current models e.g. date setting. Not that I do not know it is an old watch, just tat it didn't cross my mind tat it is different. This is my 1st old watch.

I found that this watch is not rated 300m as I expected coz it is called "Seamaster 300". It was 200m according to its specs. Now, the watch technician advises me not bath with it. Coz the hot and cold temperature will harden the gasket quicker and renders the gasket useless. Also, he tested the watch to 30m only because it is a vintage watch. I wonder if it can be made to withstand 200m given all parts new?

The watch looks to be in tip top condition, particularly the dial. 
How old is this particular piece?

This watch was produced in the 60s. Mine, I think, is a WatchCo refurbished unit. The dials and hands use SL instead of tritium so they look different.
