What do you thing about this one? It looks neat to me, probably not restored (not mention about it) but again, total newbie here, so looking forward to your valuable opinions, also in terms of price. It comes with "a" Omega box (probably not the original), no papers.

Thank you!!

Looks nice, but that's the itty bitty one, IIRC.

The description says that The diameter excluding the crown is 32.5mm lug to lug 38.7mm. Is that the one you mention?

Correct. There is another variant (136.011?) that is more normally sized. This one is really small.

What is also confusing is that I find the reference 136.012 as a Seamaster, not a Geneve. Any idea?

I think these can be either Geneve or Seamaster, and maybe even Seamaster 600?

Same as there 13x.011. They can be Geneve, Seamaster, Seamaster Geneve, blank.

A 32.5mm one is a tough sell as the 34mm are easy to find. It’s really only for someone with a small wrist. Probably worth say £300 as it’s a nice one. An ever age one would be about £250-270

What a dome on that crystal lol - it's just there for no reason, like 1mm more clearance than average other Omega, since it's 29.6mm this crystal piqued my interest a while ago

Good price is $500 ish I guess

This is a Seamaster 600 watch, in later years of production 1968-69 they dropped the Seamaster 600 on the dial and just have Geneve. Unless you have a really small wrist this is very very small as already emphasized. Probably better to look for the bigger 34.5 mm version 136.011 (date) or 135.011 (no date).

Heres a good OF thread on these. Happy hunting they are nice hand wound watches with highly regarded movements, should be able to find good one they are plentiful and many different dials too-

No bezel on this ref so domed crystal looks higher I think?

Solid reliable watches from the mid to late 1960's can't go wrong as a first watch in a collection
