    Is the 135.017 essentially the same case as the 166.036?

    Pretty much the same, the 135.017 was made for the manual wind Cal 601, the other was for the auto movement 752.

    I don't know if they are two way compatible.

    For a daily wearer the one on WUS looks OK.

    It's stainless so wont pit like the gold plated ones seem to, the 601 is a workhorse manual movement and should last for many years if looked after (service etc.)

    Don't know if the price is a good deal for a US based watch but others could guide you on that aspect.

    Thanks Jim. I did see that this afternoon and have already reached out to instigator. I saw it late last night on WUS before he posted it here this morning (but I much prefer the Omega forum). ;)
