    There's a decent Seamaster DeVille being sold for a pretty good price on TZ:

    http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=6336092&rid=0#msg_6336092

    While not perfect because of a handful of scuffs and scratches and an inscription on the caseback, at $300 it's a decent addition - and the seller is open to offers too.

    ps - it's from earlier than 1971, but since the seller hasn't opened it up they can only go by the date on the inscription. It's got a 56x of some sort inside and these automatic Seamaster DeVilles were made from 1963 - 1967.

    If I hadn't just gotten the IWC, I'd be all over that one. Band is worth over $100 by itself.

    Probably was purchased by NY Telephone and held in inventory for awhile. Could be one of the "magic" 3,000 cal. 560's.

    You never know!

    I can already tell this is going to be a dangerous place for me. Last week I started browsing this forum and I have already picked up a watch that I found here.

    Thanks. I had been looking for a nice Deville and felt it was a better bet [ for the $$ ] than many of the ones I had seen on EBAY. My photo skllls are below average but I will post some pics of my other Omega's at some point.

    On a side note, my link is SUPPOSED to go to the audio of Darth Vader but instead goes to Amazon. WTF is up with that??? ::confused2::

    The forum is getting redirects, problems afoot. This looks like a job for Ashleyman.

    Its not us, its you :p What's happened is the website you got the sound from wants you to see some ads before you download their wave file, so if the referring site isn't theirs (which it isn't since its omegaforums.net) they intercept your request and re-direct it. Its them protecting their revenue source, nothing on our end ;)

    They will let anyone onto this site!
    My first visit, and it looks like a great place. I have the De Ville that Hondaman is buying, thanks to Dennis. I appreciate it and as I said this looks like a good Forum, I've been on TZ for years and while its still fun it gets stricter (sp?) all the time.
    Thanks guys looking forward to joining in the madness if you will have me.

    Mods: before we admit Roger, do we have his police background check? ;)

    Hey, we let you on without a backround check. Watch what you say or we'll make you the first victim... er, the first guinea pig.

    No worries CO, I'm too old to be dangerous.
    And for the record I did not have sex with that woman.

    Here in Australia we are not so concerned about having sex with that woman, but with that boy - Royal Commission on abuse in the church, etc, just announced.
