Omega Seamaster 600 135.011 - my latest purchase!

This one arrived on my doorstep a few days ago, and I am really pleased!

It was attached to a horrible bracelet that I took off, and attached a Tropic strap instead (for now).

The dial looks very clean, but the minute hand has lost some lume and also has some oxidation, so this has to be adressed in the future.
The 4 o’clock indice has lost a small piece of lume.

There are some small white spots, but these are on the crystal, maybe a few from the lume of the minutehand lying on the dial.
Some small scratches, and a little ding on one side near the left lower lugg.
But the worst thing is the very scratched caseback…. a bit boring with this…😒

Serial nr 2370xxxx places the watch as a 1966 - YAY, my Birthyear!!

It has the caliber 601 movement.
Measures 34 mm, so it might take some time to get used to?

The auction house could not open the watch, so I had to guess about the reference.

And thanks to this lovely post/thread, a found a similar watch.

Thanks @Davidt !!
👍👍👍

I also found an older salespost here, this one was very helpful using to to compare.

Thanks @flqt-9000 !!

I have written this before, but the Forum and its members are amazing, everything you need to know is right here!!


A few things that I am uncertain about - the crown - is it a replacement?
The crystal does not have the omega logo, so it must have been replaced?
Since someone managed to scratch the caseback, they might have changed the crown and crystal?


Please do comment on the watch, and enjoy the pictures!

Skål (it is a Saturday)!!

The awful bracelet!

Here is a better picture of the crown.

And a wristshot of course!

Nice watch! I think crown may be original. One I had from 1967 same crown.

Aaaah! Thanks!

And what a nice watch with a cooool bracelet!

Forgot about this one!


Thanks @Nupero !!
👍👍👍

Nice watch, congrats! 👍

Thanks!
😀

The crystal is replaced…
Compared to another one..!

Looks all good Hans. Nice watches these with the lumed black dial and the 601 movement is bulletproof.
I’m unsure on the crown as the original crowns look very similar to service items, unlike say the 166.002 or 166.020 which have very distinct original crowns.
I would say I think the crown has possibly been replaced but it’s so close to the original as to make no difference.

Tackar tackar!
😀

Thanks David!

I have been looking for this ref for some time now, and you helped me assess one that I was looking at,
wished I had bought that one, they are hard to find!
But happy with this one!

Also thanks to @SOG53 for this lovely link on a Youtube clip, this one was and is very helpful!!
👍👍👍

I have been playing around/using my new watch for a few days...
And I found out that there is something missing in the movement!
🙁
Not a biggie, but could it be called a movementholder?

Anybody has one of these...?😬
I might put in a WTB ad here on the Forum...

Thanks, and once again - lovey thread/post you made on the SM600, superhelpful!

👍👍👍

Same that you did on the Cosmic...😀
