I am grateful to Neil at Chronomaster for this one which I had to prise out of his grasp. After a brief conversation this morning there was a hint of regret in his voice contrasted with much delight in mine. The watch was originally purchased in the UK and came from the original owner via the trade and Neil then to me. The serial is 78880 which is quite early. It ticks all the boxes especially since I have been after the Seafarer in the Carrera 2447 case for a very long time. The dial does have some damage around the 9 and a scratch on the sub dial at 9 but that goes with the territory.
Have a great weekend
regards
Paul
