    CLASSIC front load 14K solid gold "Unishell" Seamaster with Hippocampus back, linen dial, box and papers. This is one of the earliest caliber 560 watches I have come across. These are often referred to as "pre DE VILLES".

    More information on the caliber 560 watches can be found in Desmond's blog: http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2009/07/unearthed-more-omega-calibre-560.html

    I keep coming back here looking at this but we are doing some home improvement projects that are running into Rolex territory, not Daytona level. Anyway it’s a very nice watch and I don’t think x350 even needs any reviews he is active here but I can attest he is a pleasure to do business with.
