Been offered these two by a dealer guaranteed for a year (link at bottom to larger pics)
The seamaster is a 565 cal movement dating from c1972-4. Less is known about the connie as it is a unishell case which apparently he sealed down after cleaning and cannot remove the glass without breaking. The connie is a bit more expensive but I much prefer the looks (smaller lugs).
Connie sounds a bit like this ST 168.015 :

...and Seamaster like this ST 166.0065 :
http://www.omegawatches.com/cu_vintage/product.php?id=177&page=1&sort=product_refnumber&sortdir=ASC
But lug widths don't appear in proportion for that to be correct
Can anyone tell me what movement the connie should have and from when it likely dates, as he says if I'm serious he'll break the glass and photo the movement.
I can't find any info on the web on these unishell cases. Other than the obvious difficulty removing the movement, are there good reasons to avoid these cases? Are they water resistant to any extent? I would never deliberately submerge it, but cycling in the rain killed my last watch.
Thanks,
Tom
