Vintage Newb question - slightly WUS-ish - can I......??

Mike's Seamasters aren't dive watches.

Nice COMEX! Damn!

Cesar - you nailed it...in an epiphany moment I realized even though they are branded as Seamaster they are NOT dive watches....

Neither is this one:





Or the Speedmaster, but you can ask Dave about those.

..but, but, but, no pushers and a screw-down crown!

Cool to see it in the water, Wu.

true, Matt, but at least yours has a screwdown crown...come to think about it, why have a "Seamaster" with a non-screwdown crown?!? screw that, I'm selling both - kidding.

Dammit!!

Pfft, wimps. I'm not sure about Omega, but on my 1675, with a fresh crown tube, crystal and gaskets, it's like a brand-new watch. The metal doesn't change properties over time, just the plastic and rubbery bits. As long as there's no pitting in the seal area, it's no different from something fresh from the factory.

Before any rumours start, let me be very clear that the Sea-Dweller in the photos is for illustrative purposes only — I do not own that watch. Though I'd love to (or better yet, a double red 1665... less clutter on the dial).
