Sea Monster sighted!

Show me your monster! Saw this at WUS awhile back so decided to bring it over here..

Here's the monster at back of my SMP 2531.800.

Russel,

That clasp is a beauty. What Seamaster is that?

I don't see the He valve at '10', and judging from that clasp, I think it could be the GMT.

I thought that the GMT was the only that had a display back? Unless I'm thinking of a different SMP GMT.

The picture above is the older GMT with the OMEGA 23-jewel movement (ETA base 2892-A).

The newer GMT has the transparent caseback with the Co-axial movement.
