·Hi All,
This is my first post and I wanted to say “Hi” as I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time here satisfying my new found addiction.
I’m looking to buy my first Vintage Omega watch. The seller believes that it is a vintage 1950’s Omega Seamaster Deville cross-hair automatic (more on this later).
This is the info I have;
Serial Number: 1830XXXX, Movement Type: Calibre 562, other written numbers: 14 770 4SC and 65999
The watch has gold plate case, cross-hair campaign dial with date, small Omega Crown at the center of the crystal, the case back is stainless steel with the Omega Sea horse. The strap was replaced with a genuine (whatever this means) leather one. There is no box or papers but it was serviced in 2012. No paperwork again to prove this.
My research:
I spent last two days trying to find as much information as possible Google searching. Not an easy task at all. Based on the serial number I believe the watch was made in 1960-1961. Movements type Automatic (mechanical) Caliber Number 562/563, Other Cal. 562 (COSC sometimes) Created in 1958, 24 jewels, Cal 563 Created in 1965, 17 jewels Central sweep-second hand and water resistance of 30 meters.
What do you guys think? Any advice or suggestions? I am missing anything?
Cheers and Thanks!
