Vintage OMEGA Admiralty Blue Cal 565 Steel Automatic Mens Watch 166.054 by Elady

Seems like a nice example but with a replacement crystal but the rest seems genuine. doesn't seem overly polished with sharp edges but the case back is worn as you can read the waterproof engraving. Am I missing something and is the price decent? I don't know if I would buy this it is a nice example in my eye.

It’s a redial so not nearly worth the price. You should get a genuine example of the admiralty for less money...

My wrist is about 7' but still prefer a smaller watch. Honestly the more I wear watches the smaller I prefer. I really like the colours on the oris I will check it out for sure. TY

I agree on smaller being more comfortable. According to the chart, you can go as small as 35.5mm. One of my colleagues is also 7" and he rocks his 34mm White Oyster Perpetual.

He was convinced by his girlfriend + saved a bit of cash (smaller is cheaper), with this picture of Brian Gosling wearing a 34mm. Bracelet and a white dial increases presence but it's nice and small, for under the cuff and leaning towards understated.

Next (evil grin) is to have him looking into vintage Omega's!

I clearly have no idea if something is redialed... I thought I looked at this with care. Is it the writing being slightly blurred?

Zoom in on all the text and minute plots. Everything is thick, clumsy and looks like it's been done by a sharpie.

My offer on ebay was accepted for $1500 USD for the Seamaster 60 166.062 just now. Reading at all the forums i think i got a pretty good deal for an original Seamaster 60 with no aftermarket parts (except for the strap).
