I've been very pleased with my Seamasters and agree they are truly top notch and imho a great value and what they can be purchased for on the secondary market. Is this a blue Bond (2531.80) but with a stainless bezel? Shucks, doesn't matter... it is COOOOL!thumbsup.gif
It is the 1120 movement, i.e. modified 2892 with 2 extra jewels, better finish and all that nice stuff. As per my research, it is one of or the best 2892-ebauché based movement.

It is a blue bond,
model is 2552.80.00, so the midsize one, although it looks rather black in the pics. One of the things I learned on my research is that there are no black bonds with skeleton hands. At least this is what I read, so I was happy when the seller said it was dark blue.



Another good thing: the seller is the first owner and all 3 cards with the corresponding numbers come with it!
