My Father in Law recently passed and left me his Omega Seamaster DeVille. I don't know much about it other than the name. I'm not sure on the age or what exactly I need to do. Do I need to have it serviced? Are there places that I should avoid for servicing? Thanks in advance.
I think I found the Model Number, while stumbling around on another thread. Can someone confirm? I believe it's a CE 136.0020.
It's probably a Ref.136020. My old one says hello. If you want to wear it you should get it serviced. I would avoid sending it to Omega as they are expensive and change parts like the dial and hands. If you tell us were you are we can help with Watchmaker recommendations. Wear it in good health.
I'm in Gulf Shores, AL. When it gets serviced, can they remove the magnifier from the glass? I'll rotate it in every so often, since I don't wear a lot of gold. Mostly wearing Accutrons for the past 15 years or so.
I love it when people have these heirlooms. It’s so cool to have something from the family. My grandfather grew up in Boston at a time people were prejudice against the Irish, Irish Catholic even more so. There would be signs in windows saying Irish need not apply. He ended up starting a little business and did well but dedicated his money to his three kids education. He loved watches though so I have a pocket watch and a bulova, no value today but they mean a lot to me. It’s great to see all the old Rolex and omegas etc people kept in the family. Not saying these make heirlooms better but they are much more likely to stand time better. I had to replace the movement on some of mine. Sorry didn’t mean to hijack the thread it’s just great to see your watch I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it.
T stands for Tritium. Mine has lume, that's why it has T's, yours is the version without lume. Omega often offered both. I often prefer the version without lume as they look often more classy and pure.
I think you want to change the bracelet too an put on a nice leather strap...that is what I would do kind regards Max
New strap came in today. Can't seem to find any cameras other than my cell phone, so the pictures aren't that great.
