I think that 14770 as only "seamaster" on it's dial, instead of 14910 and 166.020 (first 14910 before 1962 had also only "seamaster", without "deville", ans the S is a bit different on models before and after 1962 The first is a 166.020, the second 14910, and third 14770. I'm not sure about these informations, does anyone can confirm it or correct it?

 

Hi, how much would you expect to pay for a 1965 Seamaster De Ville in very good condition?

 

It depends on the model, a 166.020 cal 562 worths probably 500 to 700 euros, but you can find it on auctions at 350 on Ebay...

 

Cool thanks. I have been looking at a 165.020 that looks in near perfect condition but it is more that twice that price.

Thanks for this information. I recently purchased a no-date 600 with a cracked crystal, and now know what the part number to track down!

 

Note that as I've mentioned in our PM's back and forth when you have been asking me about these crystals, these are not the same sizes. In addition to the diameter, the thickness of the crystals vary, so the two crystals you have listed above are not the same size, and one just has a magnifier - they are different heights. You need to use caution when replacing a crystal to make sure that all the parameters are the same. Different heights can mean issues like hand interference with the inside of the crystal can come into play.

Also note that the 063PZ5007L is no longer available.

Cheers, Al

 

Roger that !!! .... i was forwarded this info from Switzerland for Omega case ref# 136.xxx [with date mvmnt]

 

Clearly this information doesn't come from Omega, but likely from some third party supplier based on the fact they are not using proper Omega parts numbers. Note that suppliers will want to sell you crystals that they have, rather than what is necessarily right.

 

well part is inbound, i ordered one .... will bring it to Omega service center here in New York City to have it fitted for my 600 and see what happens

 

Also keep in mind that the case number they have provided crystal references for you is not the same case that you are referring to - yours is a 136011, and they have given you numbers for a 136001.

 

just dropped them a message they confirmed specs are Omega case ref# 136.XXX series that houses with date complication 600 series of mvmnt by Omega ... will find out soon enough

 

I don't know if you just don't get this, but saying that specs are for 136.XXX and assuming XXX are all the same, isn't the way it works when specifying replacement parts.

 

i understand exactly what u are saying, i passed the same concerns with them and photos of my watch and the case back, and the movement, along with these photos of Crystal part # - PZ5005 and its measurements as a reference ..... they said the crystal shud fit

 

You can put whatever crystal you want in your watch - I really don't care. However I would caution those reading this thread that when crystals are stated as being "correct" for a particular model based on your information, I would take that with a grain of salt.

"Should work" and "correct for this case" are two very different things. As I've said several times now, there is more then just the diameter involved in selecting the right crystal. The height, colour of the tension ring obviously, and if that ring is stepped or not all play a factor. Even if a crystal fits, that doesn't mean it will look right.

For those who are interested for the 136011 and 135011, the only correct crystal Omega calls out for a SS case is the 063PZ5005.

Cheers, Al

 

noted and understood ...

 

The SM 30 is more like the big brother, it has the older 30 mm movement and it has a slightly bigger case (35 vs 34 mm)
btw it s matter of personal taste, but i prefer cal 30 over cal 600, it is less refined but it gives more in terms of mechanical sensations.

Wow this is thorough. New to this forum and hoping you can steer me in the right direction regarding the right spring bars.
I have a SM passed from my Grandfather to my dad to me. For years it's had an inexpensive hadley Roma strap from the mall. I want to put on a new strap. Compared to my Planet Ocean I can see 1.8mm bars are too big. Does it use 18mm x 1.5mm? Would a modern "quick release" strap fit in the holes?
I used to think it was a 1960 but pics look more like 1962 I've seen online. I don't have any details from inside the case.
Thanks for any advice.
