Looking for advice: Seamaster Deville - 165.007

Hi everyone,

Currently I am looking to buy my first serious watch. After a while I made my mind up and decided what I am looking for: a vintage Omega, with a strong preference for the Seamaster model. And a specific model caught my eye; a Seamaster Deville, from around 1966 / 1967 with the reference 165.007.

Obviously, I have done research myself. First of all I have checked the given info on the Omega database and that all was what it should be. I also googled the model, series etcetera to get aware of any flaws by comparing it to other watches.

But before I decide to make a bid, I still have some questions for you guys:
* First of all, does this model look legit to you?
* Does the crown look original?
* Do you see any flaws, that my unexperienced eye did not notice?
* And last, but not least: what value would you give this piece?

Info:
Model: Seamaster Deville
Reference: 165.007 / 165.0007
Caliber: 711
Movement: automatic
Material: Stainless steel & 14k gold
Size: 32,5 mm (without crown)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your quick response!

To answer the questions myself:
* To me looks the watch legit. I was specifically looking at 2 things that drew my attention: the fact that "automatic" was written at the downside of the dial and the fact that the watch has no indication per minute. But for both questions, I found watches in this serie with the same specs.

The dial looks quite fresh, but also some signs of usage. Which comforts me as well, that is not renovated etc.

* The crown is something I can not really assess to be honest. On the second picture the crown looks kind of old, but on the 4th and 5th pic the crown looks a bit more shiny (perhaps newer?).

* I don`t see any flaws myself

* Regarding the price, I would say somewhere between 800 and 1100 dollar

Overall: the watch looks in good condition to me. Used, but not damaged. Just how I personally would consider vintage.

But than the question: am I missing something or is my observation legit?

Actually, I am aware of that. And since I have small wrists, that could work out perfectly. But I have to see it on though.

Is there a way to determine if the minute track should be absent on this model?
Other than comparing to other models in the same series I mean. I have checked this model and I have seen 2 of the same watches, also with the minute track non excistent.

Personally, I think it looks good on this specific watch. But that is just a matter of taste, I guess.

I found 3 other watches from the same series, with all no minute track. And the details of the text on the dial (position, way of writing, detail of the font etc) all look the same.

So my personal judgement would be that this one looks correct.

But very curious to see other observations.

Thanks for thinking along.

Yours looks great as well! Totally agree on the elegance and simplicity. What size is yours? 34,5 mm?

So you think that the one I posted looks legit as well?
