triplehd Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Battle of my Fraken Seamasters - 2531 vs 2532 Both Seamasters modded with gen dials and gen hands. The 2531 has Cheif's double A/R where as the 2532 has single-sided A/R along with a gen insert. BTW - notice the cases? Yep - the good ol' "closed factory" cases. The 2532 actually has a serial number on the lugs. Enjoy the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplehd Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Many thanks....im actually digging the 2532 and it seems to be getting more wrist time than my 2531. Hmmm...maybe one of my frakens need to go ??!?!? To be continued........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 SWEET!. I like the 2531 case more tho...the crown guards are better. Although they are from closed factories....I think they are from different closed factories. I have both those exact same cases, IMO. Did the white dial come from ebay? I'm almost positive I placed a bid on it I'm currently looking for a red Omega dial that is only sold in japan. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplehd Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Did the white dial come from ebay? I'm almost positive I placed a bid on it I'm currently looking for a red Omega dial that is only sold in japan. LOL...yep - came from ebay. There's a seller in Australia who had recently listed several Omega dials, including some 2531s, 2254 and some additional white and red seamaster dials. Both 2531 gen dials were sold for about $35. $35 for a used gen dial ?!?! What a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Excellent. The old SMP versions are real rep classics! Amazing how good the Bond case is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplehd Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Excellent. The old SMP versions are real rep classics! Amazing how good the Bond case is. I was pretty lucky to come across some old cases. For the 2531, I purchased the case on RWI. The owner didnt realize he was parting with the closed case. As for the 2532, I was able to find a closed asian electric blue for sale and swapped those cases as well. Ya never know what surprises you'll find in the sales section !!!! Once completed, I will have Seamaster Sibling Rivalry Part II - The Seamaster 2254 vs the Electric Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimster Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 HD, That's a beautiful pair. I love the proper HE placements on the closed factory. A sharp WIS will spot that straight away. BTW, I'm shipping to you tomorrow. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
