I have just won an auction for a Seamaster Deville the other day, and realize that both the hands and crown are probably incorrect (hands are too short).

Does anybody have any idea what would be the correct length for this watch? I don’t have the reference number, but I assume that all of the early 60s Devilles are built in the same proportions.

Thanks!

 

You can make a pretty good guess, but I think it would be a good idea to get the reference number before shopping for new hands, just to be sure of size and shape. It's easy enough to read off the ref #.

 

Your watch is a mid size, ref 165.004 cal 670/671.

The hands and crown are correct, hands are a bit shorter for this reference.

See this thread for an example I posted:

Oh. And I thought it was a baragain... Didn’t know Omega made these watches in any other size but 34mm. Too bad.
