So..... while searching shops for a Connie for me I ran across this ladies Seamaster 120.
Good shape, NOS bracelet, Omega symbol in the hesalite, appears to be correct crown, 684 movement, nice black matte dial, all original lume (glows for a few seconds after being exposed to a flashlight).
Could definitely use a cleaning/lubing.

I've been wanting to get my wife an auto with date for a while now. My only concern was the white date window, but I have seen pics of them with both black and white.

Nice looking patina on the dial and hands.

It's a 31mm. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. The plan is to let the wife wear it. If she's not into it then my daughter or son whoever shows interest. If no one cares then you may see it for sale here... Haha

I'll try to get better pics after I pick it up...

I'm hoping to pick up this guy next week, as long as it all checks out.

I picked this little guy up today. Was able to talk the seller down a little. Great deal I think overall. The bracelet is NOS 545 and probably worth have what I paid.

I set the time to my 8500 Ti PO, with in a few minutes it has already lost a few seconds. Definately needs a good service. Lume is pretty good for being 48yrs old.

Now for the good stuff..

Thanks..
Interestingly enough while searching for info about the 566.000(0)7, I ran across this forum post.

http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?69823-Omega-Seamaster-120-1960s-what-do-you-think

In the thread there's a link to an eBay auction of my exact watch by the guy I bought it from. I had no idea he had an eBay store.
Apparently he didn't currently have it listed. Also, I didn't pay as much as the price he had listed either.

Anyway the serial number has it as a 1970. I can't find any other references to a 566.00007 anywhere. The Omega web site just has the 566.0007. Everything looks legit, except maybe the 684..
