Re: What's a nice vintage manual wind no date Omeg *PIC*

Thanks for the comments so far, but perhaps I phrased my question wrong. I'm not looking for a chronograph or vintage Moonwatch, but just a plain vintage seamaster. Something like in the attached picture.
Any suggestions on calibers or model numbers to look for.
Also, after scanning some auctions on Ebay, I noticed some 60's Seamaster with a different type of 'S' typeface. One similair to a current Seamaster, and some with a 'longer' S. Is there any information on when Omega changed the typeface of the Seamaster print on the dials?
Thanks,
Ted
