Re: Omega Seamaster 600

In Response To: Omega Seamaster 600 ()

Hi there,

Just for your information, 30 meter water resistant watches are only splash water resistant and not meant for showering, swimming, or diving.
Even the slightest of mist inside your watch means that water has entered your watch. I recommend you to refrain from swimming with your watch. It is not good to have water inside your watch because it causes corrosion.

Common man

: I recently purchased a used Stainless Steel
: Seamaster 600, with a 601 calibre movement,
: movement serial number 23289281 and the
: internal case number 135.012 It has an Omega
: stamped crown, but the crown appears to move
: and slightly move the dial/internal
: mechanism, I suspect this will prevent the
: waterproof seal from being fully
: operational. It does 'mist up' slightly. Any
: suggestions, any details on age, the Omega
: site hasn't helped a lot. Value?
