·Hi, my name's Pekka. I'm from Finland and I just joined the forum!
My sister is getting married this fall and I'm using this occation as my justification to finally get a nice dress watch to wear with my suit. I'm sure you understand, as the bride's brother I can't be wearing just any watch 😉
This Seamaster De Ville really caught my eye. Info from the seller:
Reference number: 135020 CD SP (C.B)
Model: Seamaster De Ville
Year: 1970
Caliber: 601
Material: Gold on steel
Note: Case back had an engraving which was removed.
Supposedly it is serviced, asking for $790. They claim it to be all original. Omega logo is visible in the crystal.
Photos:
Any thoughts on the watch? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to vintage watches so any comments are appreciated.
After comparing a huge amount of photos I think that the dial looks genuine. However, I didn't see any photos with these exact hands, they might be replacements (is that really that bad?). The removed engraving from the back probably hurts the value, but I find the watch already cheaper than other similar listings. So is the removal in the end okay?
I also noticed that the dial says Swiss Made with the letter T. Is the T right here? I don't see any lume dots, but I found some forum posters claiming that sometimes this is the case.
