Hi,

Put a post on a while ago on a seamaster deville and an age estimate:

http://omegaforums.net/threads/desperate-help-omega-vintage.229/

In the thread ULACKFOCUS gave some very good information and stated that it should have a 562 calibre or a 560 if it was uncommon. I have since had it valued and the paperwork states it is a pattern number 166.020 and a 565 calibre.

My question on this would be is that calibre a good one or would it make it slightly uncommon?? It was mentined in the thread hat is was uncommon to have seamaster and deville on the watch face.

As you can guess i have no knowledge on Omegas and so have come to knowledgable people

Thanks in advance

Darren

 

Well, the 560's were rarer than the other two but it doesn't mean they are better movements. 560's and 562's both have date with no quickset, the 565 does have quickset feature and preferable than the 560 and 562.
The Seamaster and De Ville on the dials are not rare, you can find lots of them on ebay if you search for "seamaster de ville".

Best.
