路路LemaniacYes, I believe it to be a monoque case. I don't have a crystal wrench or lift so I was contemplating trying the air pressure pop. This would most likely have a split stem that I would need to remove first....I think. Maybe I'll just wait until tomorrow when I go see my WM.
Split stem and air pump is the way to go. Without the air pump to pop the crystal a "crystal lift" is next in line of "weapons of choice".
Looks promising! Good luck!馃憤

路路LemaniacIt seems you're not familiar with what a crystal lift is so I agree is best to have a watchmaker look at it instead of messing with your watch.

路The marking of the caseback gives it away. "use all proof 1280 wrench"...

PS: from the Longines Admiral monocoque cases I've seen, the bezel had to come out as well to remove the movement.

路On the way .... Is there such a thing as rehab for watch addiction?
Yes, get into a more expensive hobby like boating or wine. 馃榿

路Thanks guys but I've decided to take a break from this Forum. On the whole, I've met very nice people and I've had a great time, but there also seems to me a current stream of negativity which is not appreciated. Not every watch is perfect, that I know. But when I rescue a watch, like this Seamaster, that was going to be traded, and perhaps ultimately scrapped for gold value, just appreciate it for what it is. I also got criticism for one of my Constellations Because it had a repainted dial. So what, it's 60 years old. I didn't buy it for its dial, I bought it because it had Cal 501 which was missing from my collection.
Anyway, I presented the watch as it is, I did not request information before purchasing, I bought it to enjoy. It's not a fake and I may send it to Bienne for restoration or maybe I won't.
Anyway - that's my beef and thanks for the good times!
buh-BYE! ..... and thanks for flying Omega Forums!

My wife actually mentioned this same thing to me the other day from some wives group that she is a part of online. Every few days one of the girls will make a big speech about how she doesn't need the negativity in her life and say that she is done with the group. Only to reappear online a few days later, lurking in the background to see if anybody commented on how right she was and to see if anyone missed her.
