          Does anyone know anything about Omega Seamasters, old models?.. Are they all 35/ 36 mms?..

            Are you referring to just seamasters or seamaster professionals? The pre-bond SMP came in two sizes and in quartz and auto starting in the early 80s. They are more dive oriented and the precursor to the current models. There are also a lot of models from the 50s on with the name seamaster that referred to their level of water resistance. From what I've seen they range in size from 36-40mm but hardly ever more or less. They might also have additional badging like Cosmic or even Deville. Be very careful when buying the older seamasters as there are TONS of cobbled garbage pieces out there. Good luck!

                Anesthetist: thanks!..

                Was talking about a 60'ies Deville…

                yep, la montre fonctionne très bien, apparemment pas de besoin urgent de rénovation, elle tourne très bien, l'état est irréprochable, 42mm oui, je re-mesurerai ASAP

                Frenchie here claims it's a 42 mm (well he's gonna measure it)… Don't think this guy knows what he's selling... I'll be patient and find one on TZ-UK..

                  It might be 42mm when you include the crown, hard to say. Also check out chronocentric.com. They have a lot of cool omega info.

                    Omega forum on watchuseek.com is pretty informative as well.  And I agree with Anesthetist- the only way that watch is 42mm is if he's including the crown, or possibly the lug to lug length.  Actual width is gonna be much smaller.

                    Nice Helson, btw.  Does the crown have a skull on it, too?

                              Basically, I am a ham fisted prat. Over the last few weeks, I have managed to take most of my watches out of commission.  This is the last one standing…..

                                    Nope, the winder fell off.  It is in a sealed plastic bag in the safe with the rest of the watch waiting for me to save up enough to get it fixed….

                                      I just found this:

                                      Think I have to get it. It is manual though… don't know if I'll remember winding.

                                      Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                        You'll get used to it surprisingly quickly.  My usual watch is a manual wind, and it's just part of the routine to wind it before putting it on in the morning.  I think I've only forgotten to wind it once.

                                        I'm ambivalent in how much sympathy to feel for you, Giles.  Yes, it sucks to break the Patek, but a JLC is one hell of a backup.  I think I could live with that one as a daily wearer.
