·Hi, I've the 5 divers for a long time and got the other one last week.
I did'nt realize that the 1168 bracelet won't fit and that I'd have to find a fixoflex...
Is there any other ss bracelet that would fit?
Or a place to source a fixoflex ?

·In case anybody is interested, looks like one is up on the bay. Not affiliated with the seller at all, but seemed like it was in good condition (in my inexperienced eyes) so wanted to share.

·Hi guys, brand new watch enthousiast alert!!!
I'm contemplating on buying my first vintage luxury timepiece and this Admiralty Diver caught my eye. What do you vets find of this? Would you buy it and for how much tops?
I look forward to your responses!
Bezel is wrong. I’d wait for an example with the correct one.
Edit: The dial, markers, and hands are in very nice condition. So based on the rest of the watch: condition of case, crown, movement, etc, I might consider paying $500 or less in the hopes I could source the correct bezel. I have seen the bezels for these watches pop up for sale from time to time, but I’ve never seen the correct colored bezel for this watch for sale. Dark grey and blue seem to be more regularly available on the secondhand market. So it could be a substantial risk hoping you’d be able to find the part.
All that said, I definitely wouldn’t recommend buying a watch you need to source parts for if you’re just getting into vintage watches. Buy something you can wear and enjoy as is. Hope that helps!

Thanks for replying,
I kinda questioned the bezel myself at first since it doesn't have a florescent marker, yet I found on the internet vintage seamasters who had similar bezels, the fact of it being a pre-anchor model set me at easy with it. But yet here I am! XD. Which is the correct bezel for this particular model? Can you post a picture or link of the same watch with the correct bezel?!
Cheers

I'm ready to pay 700€, unless the bezel really does not match with the watch!

·If you like it go with the flow
Don't expect to find a bezel those are pretty rare to find and if you find one it won't be cheap

Was curious if this one ended up in the hands of an OFer -- I had an auto-bid set and forgot about the auction and just missed out. It ended up going for quite a reasonable price.

·Also, regarding the winding crown. Even if you do find the correct 069ST42057 crown it will most likely have a larger modern logo:
rather than the original smaller vintage logo:

·Love this watch but every one I see for purchase is always pretty beat up. This thread has inspired me to look harder.
