路Dear Omega Forums,
I have been in the market for a Vintage Omega Seamaster Deville for a couple of weeks now. I'm in no rush to buy one. I would rather wait for the right one.
I stumbled across this 14ct solid gold case Deville. The reason I find it interesting is that it has allegedly been in one family since new and kept in a box for the last 30 years. It comes without the strap and buckle, and the glass is severely scratched.
The seller sounds very honest and helpful, however it wasn't possible to see pictures of the inside of the watch. The seller is unsure about the movement but believes it's the 552. The seller has asked a watchmaker to open it up to take pictures (on my request), but he felt it was too risky because the watchmaker told him about the risk of breaking the glass in the process.
I have tried my best to evaluate whether or not this is a decent purchase with the limited knowledge I have about vintage Omegas. I have assessed the logo, writing etc. on the dial and to my eyes it looks like it has not had a redial. The case it self does not look too polished either. I'm sure there is something I'm missing, but alas I feel too ill-informed regardless of how much I read about the subject on this (fantastic) forum. I have a feeling it takes years to sort the bad ones from the good ones at a glance.
I'm very interested in hearing other vintage Omega connoisseurs opinions
and any reply is greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for your time.
