Hi there --
I am a long time lover of Omegas and a new member so I wanted to say hello (hello!) and that I have been reading your forum for all most a year now....some might call that stalking...I like to say it was educating...

I sadly do not own one...yet....but have been watching this one ( i do love the DeVille) and am thinking that this one may be the one....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200693787858?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=truePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

So i guess my question is - is there any way to check its legit? I have tried to search for that number on the back and cant find anything on it...

thanks so much !

 

Hi peep from England , welcome to the forum, good luck with that first Omega, but be prepared - it may not be your last

 

Beautiful watch. The dial looks good to me but there are some experts here that can really spot details beyond most mortals awareness. The case back however does not quite look right to me. Not only it seems a different steel altogether I am not sure the waterproof legend has any place on this model.

If you have the time clip some of those pictures and post them in the thread so people can give you more in depth analysis.

And welcome tot he forum...

Oh, and see if you can get a shot of the movement from the seller!

 

thank you for the warm welcome -- and yes Nobel...the back doesn't look....right?

anyway -- here are the pictures - (i hope they come through!)

 

Hi Peep

Welcome! I'm also a new member so not qualified to comment on the watch.

What I would say, though, is I recently bought my own De Ville recently, very similar to yours, and it was for a lot less than the price being quoted. Also, you have to remember to factor in import duty when buying from the US.

Cheers

 

Peep,

I think maybe the post is not being noticed because if the title. Amend the title to say "New Member, please help evaluate this De Ville" or something like that so it will catch the attention of the evaluating force. I am curious myself as to what the consensus will be.

 

Good looking watch but for that price I would want to see photos of a serviced movement. I like your profile picture! I expected a marshmellow peep to replace that questionmark, but not one so fun.

 

thank you everyone !! I have loved Omega's for a long time. My dad wore one and sadly it was lost when we lost him so I am eager to learn and with that knowledge, be able to buy my first one for me ! (bough one for hubby, looking for FIL...it should be me soon, right?)

With the comments above and the gut feeling I have, I am going to pass on the above....plus, after that AT (Aqua terra, right??) post from earlier today, I just might have to convert my loyalties !!!
