·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:

·Hello everyone,
I am really enjoying this thread and I definitely love the admiralty series.
Here is a pic of my 135.015:
I was wandering, what is the reference of the diver no-date version?

Nice watch! To the best of my knowledge, the diver non-date was only made in manual wind for the admiralty line, and the reference is 135.042.
The auto / date diver version is 166.054.

Your question about case reference numbers was already answered near the bottom of page 10:
so to summarize the non-diver reference numbers:
no date, manual wind: 135.015
no date, automatic: 165.038
date, manual wind: 136.015
date, automatic: 166.038

·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!
I'm ready to pay 700€, unless the bezel really does not match with the watch!
Funny... Exact same watch is again for sale in Brussels for 1150€...

Hi all -
Just got my hands on this Admiralty ref. 165.038 from 1968. Does anyone recognize this band that is currently on the watch? Did other Admiraltys come with this band? I have seen the chat about the Fixo-Flex bands (which I am keen on finding, of course) but was curious if anyone knew if these bands were original too.
Thanks!

Nice one.
The band is not original, the buckle is also not original for the period and may also be after market.

·I managed to buy a couple of NOS admiralty diver dials without anchor a while ago. Is it possible dials without an anchor were service dials?

I've seen enough without anchor (in this thread, including mine on p.11), that I'm fair comfortable saying they exist. I'd always heard them referred to as "pre-anchors" without much substantiation, but the potential that they're service dials is an interesting one. Will be curious to see photos from @pedrocarlone.

·I wound up buying the 166.054 mentioned here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/comprehensive-omega-admiralty-thread.69037/page-9#post-1375532
On a whim about 6 months earlier, I had bought the correct gray bezel and mid-case for that dial / hand combo. Here it is now:
At the same time I bought that watch, I was able to pick up a blue dial version that was missing the bezel and had an over polished midcase. The blue bezel from the previous watch went on to this watch:

Well done! The only thing I don't like is the wart on the crystal, but other than that, they are a pair of beauties.

·What is the lug-to-lug length of the 'long-lug' non-diver admiralty?
Also, is this dial original? Because many of the date versions have a little white outline around the date window, is it possible that the white outline has dropped off or faded?

·For those interested, a good-looking blue diver version is up on eBay now. Quite a bit of bidding activity already. Link here, plus a photo for posterity:

Anyone here with more knowledge?
Edit:
"Ask seller for shipment to EU"
Seller does not accept messages so can't ask before bidding either. 🫨

Replacement crown (looks small), but that seems relatively common based on this thread. Looks good other than that.
