路Wish I could be wearing this today, but it was absolutely FILTHY.
Bought this Omega Ladymatic [Seamaster] a few days ago online, and it arrived in the mail today. I don't feel guilty at all now about the fact that I got the seller down to under $100 (she was asking $150, originally) - the band is not original (Speidel SS)/wrong size, and based on what I'm seeing from research, it probably had a leather strap (correct me if I'm wrong!). The clasp wouldn't even close the watch was so full of black, disgusting gunk. I knew it ran before I bought it, but now I'm amazed it does. I am convinced the seller or the last owner of this watch was a ZOMBIE. Blech. Took these pictures after I gave the poor thing the best clean I could - any dark/black spots you see on the back of the head or in the bracelet links/crevices is what I'm going to call dirt for my own sanity. Not rust or corrosion, but... er, "dirt". Dropping off tomorrow to be serviced/CLEANED, and fitted with a proper SS bracelet. #RescuedFromTheLivingDead
*Apologies for the poor lighting >> poor photos. I wish I could take better photos in sunlight, but it's evening here and this is going straight to the jeweler first thing in the morning.

路Something that has an auto movement, a clean dial, is waterproof to 200m, and can take a bit of abuse.
Plan to use this as a work/travel beater, and carry a stash of NATOs to dress it up/down.

Thanks!
kind of odd that the website doesn't specify the size of each case though.

Yes, of course. I never really sell anything but I won't forget if I do sell this one.
It really is a good looking watch - I'm flattered by what you wrote!
