Looks like 35mm. It's not too bad on my wrist. Definitely small but it's just so over-the-top retro that it kinda makes sense. ย Not sure how much I'd ever really wear it, but it might be fun to keep just for nostalgia purposes. I'm seeing that the odds are high that my original was also 35 mm, so it's likely the same watch after all.

This sounds familiar. ย When I sell off my Breitling Colt that leaves this Seamaster, an Oris Aquis Staghorn Restoration LE, and my Divers Sixty Five Bicolor. ย I dig all of them, but I could see selling the bico and going with a big crown pointer date for more variety.

Oddly, as nice as the current ceramic SMPs are, I can't get passed the new helium escape valve, which is larger and looks like an upside-down cupcake thing now. But for some reason, this one on the 2531.80 is kinda invisible to me. ย I can't explain that logic in any way tho. ย

Yeah, I'm kinda digging it. ย A litle PolyWatch on the crystal really cleaned it up too!

You can find Glycine bronze combat subs in like new condition for under $400 all day long if you want to go that route.

Like this one. I know the watch is like new because I owned it for about a week (it just wasnโ€™t for me) before selling it on to the guy thatโ€™s selling it now. LOL
