Creating a new thread for this as I have updated photos.

I purchased this De Ville via an online watch dealer whose dealer said it is authentic, and I also got it authenticated. The dealer said it is likely late 70s or early 80s but that's all the info I have.

That being said, I am looking for any identification, dating, model number, and ballpark evaluation for this piece to get a better picture of what I bought. Also can anyone confirm via the photos if it has a gasket?

Thank you!

Surely the sewer provided much of this info?

The model/ref number is inside the case back - 166.008.
The serial number should be on the movement which can be used to date it approximately. It’s not visible in your pics.
It has a gasket as seen in your pictures.

It's a 165.008 (inside of caseback) Cal 711 De Ville. See link to Omega Web site. Alternatively Google search omega 165.008 and you will get plenty of hits.
Look at ebay sales history for approx value.

You’re right, it’s a 165 not a 166 though.

And you can find the age of the watch from the movement number (8 digits) by googling Omega date codes
