    Beautiful example of a blue 145.017 De Ville, these are very difficult to find with the blue dial

    Dial and hands - Oiginal, and really nice. There is a small amount of dial degradation around the subdials as is common with these blue dials, and the "20" in the seconds subregister is missing the tip of the 2

    Case - Case is in nice overall condition, showing dings and scratches from use

    Movement - original cal 860 keeps time and chrono operates, I do not know the service history

    Sold head only, blue strap is not included

    You will not be disappointed with this one.

    $3,400 USD shipped worldwide via FedEx/parcelpro, I am located in the USA (Chicago). Payment via bankwire or quickpay/zelle preferred, paypal can be discussed

    References are available in the seller feedback section.

    Thanks OF!

    I see that Omega made a mistake in your extract: "860 (manual-winding chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour recorders)"

    Interesting. I received another extract for my gray panda 145.017 yesterday with the same
    error.

    Someone obviously simply copied the description from the 861. Not sure if this is typed individually or Omega needs to fix their picklist entry for the 860 in the system.

    I had an extract from Longines where they described my tuning fork watch as quartz. Mind you they do theirs for free so fair enough I guess.

    Nice watch BTW, don't see so many Omega manufactured in 1974(my birth year).

    Omega’s is not free, so they really should get it right. I would bring it to their attention.

    I’m sure they would do a reprint at their expense.
