Omega Seamaster 300 Ref 165.024, £25,000 at Arthur Johnson & Sons.
Some, such as this Ref 165.024 offered for sale by Arthur Johnson & Sons in Nottingham on January 4, can rival the Rolex Submariner 5513 for price.
This particular 1960s watch is a no-date variant with a rare ‘Big Triangle’ and ‘Big T’ dial configuration. Adding further to its kudos are the British military issue markings W10/6645-99-923-7697 A/115/67.
