You hit the exact point ...
Your watch seems to be correct and, since is not a much demanding one (military, FAP) there is a good chance to be 100% correct.
Enjoy your watch but pay extra attention on the strap. A friend al,ost lost one when this strap broke.
Congratulations,
Nilo
Did I make a correct choice?
My budget allows me to pick up, just one Omega vintage-watch. I was toying with the idea of scouting around for a dress watch or a sports watch. It was between a mid-range 18k solid gold Omega Constellation with date and an Omega diver watch with a big tr...
Don't bother to ask for others opinion about the desirability of your watch.
This is your watch; now, you went for it, and since the budget was an important matter, I can't imagine that you didn't think twice before taking your decision. Since you asked, my hierarchy, when it comes to Vintage Seamaster is a nice CK 2913, FAP if po...
Your CK 2913 is a dream watch ...
amanico I appreciate your opinion and kind words about my new find. Your CK 2913 is a dream watch, not only for me but also, many other enthusiasts and collectors. I have seen only a handful of such watch and none of them can come close to the condition o...
These are not impossible to find, the CK 2913 or the 165 024.
It is just a question of patience. I am pretty sure that you will find yours, one day, and that we'll have the pleasure to share your joy. Thanks for the nice thoughts, and same back to you and yours! Best, Nicolas
Advice appreciated
amanico I appreciate your advice and I will be patient, till I have enough funds and subsequently get the right watch. Patience pays, in the long run. More likely, I shall get the 165.024 and very unlikely, the CK 2913 since if there is any just like the ...
Not much choice
Sohailahmed_777 Appreciated. For one with a tight-budget, there is not much choice, I am afraid.

Secured with a leather-band, now
nilomis Your advice and kind words are appreciated. I have since replaced the band with one, made of leather. The rubber material causes my skin to itch, apart from the fact it may become brittle, over time. I cannot afford to lose it. Though not a highly...
Excellent choice. I would only suggest that If it is an everyday wearer,
you try to find a vintage bracelet to go with it. Congrats!
Indeed, it will look better
smorrisonmd1 Indeed, the watch will look better with a bracelet. Unfortunately, I prefer to wear it with a leather-band, instead. Your kind word is appreciated.
It is you.
Harris if I could, I would give you 20 lashes with a wet noodle. I don't think you could have been more patient, thoughtful and cautious. The watch is you. Please start enjoying it, you deserve it. Steve
Credit to you and your team
cicindela I appreciate your kind words. Without the encouragement, guidance and directions from people like you and your team, I will never be able to get this little beauty. Credit should go to you & company and definitely, not me.
great choice harrisans
the 166.024 with date is not seen here as often as the non date 165.024, but still a great watch. possibly better even because of the screwdown crown. i have the 2 i want, a 165.014 and 165.024 from 1964 so i am very happy for you. enjoy Graham
Appreciate your kind words
G99 I appreciate your kind words. Since I have to wear a watch daily, I need one with a date. Possibly, the next one will be without. Your dream watches are both uncommon and to get the factory-original ones with good patina is perhaps, not that easy. It ...

Classic beauties!
G99 Indeed they are really beautiful and very desirable classic pieces, built yesterday and to be loved, forever. The only issue is, long after we are gone those watches will be still be ticking away and hopefully, the next owner will give them the love a...
ah mr Harrisans, you are...
ah mr Harrisans, you are well behind on the forum gossip. Horogasm is the man with more willing ankles than watches and i am the man who wear 2 watches at all times unless her majesty the queen is present :) for this xmas break, although my mother resembl...
Not surprising
G99 With all the beauties in your collections, it will not surprise me, if you wear four watches, at one go. Two on the wrists and two on your biceps. Sorry I have forgotten, you have ankles, too. A collector-friend of mine once told me, how he wished he ...

I know where to find
G99 When I or my friends have the funds and want to find a really good and desirable vintage-watch, we know where to go and find one. Hopefully, the day will not be far off, from now.
in that case, happy hunting....
