Here is my Snorkel 666, I believe is a "G" model, had if for a few years. I love the size and shape. Works very well, the year of manufacturing (back case) is 1968 (M8), the caliber' date is actually a 1964.
What if wanted to look for a crystal (slightly scratched, not much really), is there a part number for it that I can look for ? Or should I use the case number "714" ?
thank you very much for the reply and the precious info, confirming the Snorkel "G" model.
Could you please change the title of the post to "Snorkel G" as I had not specified it when I wrote the post ?
Why would you say that someone "used an Oscillating Weight from an earlier movement" ?
Looks like an original complete 11ALACD movement so I wonder why ?
thanks again
regards
Roby

You're welcome.
This 1968 watch likely was never sold with a 1964 movement; so two options to consider (since who really knows the 50+ year history), is that the entire movement is from '64 and replaced the original, or the weight from the original went bad and a watchmaker had one on hand to replace it with - only it was dated M4 (this has happened to me, needed a new weight, but couldn't find one with datestamp that matched the original).

Hi and thanks for the advice on the glass, I will do that, it is a slight scratch, a little visible.
Question : why is this model called an Oceanographer, when on the dial, like many others, only says "Snorkel" ?... I see also on the models list on the web site that the Snorkel has a name on its own ?
thanks again
