Hello, new to the forums, My name is Kevin, i'm 31 years old i've been collecting for years but this is a first for me let's just cut tot the Chase... I found this 111.0139 de ville at a local dealer\friend when cleaning up his basement... Is as NOS as can be including original papers, strap and even had the protecting layer on the backGot it for free for helling him.
Most are black dial, thuis is the first ons i've seen. It had a bit of a two tone turning lighter in the middel with a yellow\orange glow probably from age
Very elegant watch, good for formal dress or even casual with that mesh on it. Don't forget to get it serviced.
Put it on the amplimeter all night flat on it's back, gave a steady 21600.8, nog bad for being 40 years old but i'll give it a service during the holidays. I missed the seconde hand at first but thuis thing was nog built fort timing so getting used tot it... Also made a mistake in the model, it's a 111.0131 nog 0139.... Thuis one has a saphire crystal and tourmaline crown. Looked the entire net and found none with the blue dial... Always wanted a seamaster but looks like i really fell in love with this de ville...
Thanks for the positive responses, van anyone tell me why there are so little devilles on the forum? Ok, les collectible nut there are soms beauties out there and i find them great watches for beginning collectors for the prices they come at...
