Identify inherited Omega automatic seamaster deville

You bet. You will see sub forums here for Longines, Zenith etc, and If the Railroad watch isn’t one of them, then put your post up in the “other watch brands” forum. A critical mass of specialists in other brands lurk in the the other forums that you noted, and no one will be offended if you post elsewhere too. But, I think it best to exhaust a line of inquiry on one forum first, and then if needed. take the collective wisdom to the other forum.

Looking forward to your post

Edit: I would have thought that my above thoughts on where to post are correct, but XJR (whose post went up as I was writing mine) suggests it would go into Open Discussion. XJR has been around OF longer, so, respectfully, I’d guess he’s right - just leaving my post as is to test the assumption

Although, it is not a museum piece, this watch represents the pinnacle of the Swiss watch industry before the quartz crash, CNC manufacturing, and off-shore parts production.

I would quibble that the Constellations from the same era are more of a pinnacle of the Swiss watch industry.

I stand corrected if my response overstated the value of this particular watch. The 60's, in general was a golden era in the Swiss watch industry and the 500 series movements are among the best. While it is true that a Connie or Chronometer Seamaster represent the best of Omegas from this era, the De Ville in discussion here represents good value and has a movement with the same base calibre.
