    It’s nice, but looks quite small. I would check diameter, and make sure it is suitable for your needs. It looks like it could be as small as 32mm in the pics, but it could just be a illusion of photography.

    Yeah, I was also going to say that it's probably tiny. More something to add to a collection than to actually wear.

    It is a matter of personal taste, as 33-36 mm are the sweet spot for me. If you like the simple, 1960's era watches, as other have stated, this is a well preserved example.

    To me 33mm without crown is acceptable. Although it might be pushing it for some people. I have 6 3/4 wrists. I would double check this is without crown as the proportions suggest it could be smaller than that.

    No different than an early 1960's manual wind Seamaster.

    Be careful, you need to see the case back- inside and out.
    Otherwise a really nice looking example.
    Also be clear with them, a one millimeter difference in size
    Measurement is significant.

    For 100 euros you cannot go wrong! Providing it doesn't need a service.
