·Perfectly genuine Omega Seamaster DeVille or Pre DeVille.
Perhaps a presentation watch with the dial modified for an award or company service

·Thank you. Though GEV was maybe Geneva? Can’t find anything anywhere on the web with those letters that are on the face of this watch.

·wow, now I wish we still had the original band on my grandfather's Seamaster DeVille; that's pretty rad. The letters are HUGE on that dial and interesting placement being so close to the logo. Would be fun to sleuth out what they stand for but I would also go with something tied to either a company or a social or service group of some type (initials of members of a team maybe?)

·I’ve been digging to figure out those huge letters, no luck, will keep searching. Any easy way to tell if the case is solid gold or plated?

··Vintage Omega AficionadoYou have to remove the bracelet to see the markings. I suggest you get a professional to do it.

·Knowing what year the watch was made might make it easier to identify dial markings. Thoughts on when this watch was made?

·Working on the principle that the letters are likely to be an acronym, is the acronym likely to be in english or another language?
And maybe your father's occupation would help if it was a work anniversary watch

·Maybe the old boy had a sense of humour and had a bunch of random letters stuck on there "to keep 'em guessin!"
