After a hiatus, I have to let go of some pieces in order to fund an incoming piece.

I offer for sale an Omega Deville (De Ville) Co-Axial Chronograph equipped with the 3313 movement.
Reference number is 4541.50.00
It is the steel variant, with the excellent "brick" bracelet - one of the most comfortable I've ever wore.

Short story - got this watch in a trade back in 2016, after hunting for it for three years or so. Absolutely love it - large and slim stepped case, dog-leg lugs, slightly domed dial, comfy bracelet. But as it happens, I rarely wear the watch anymore. What bugs me the most is the date disk - white background and a font I don't really like.



---------------------------------------------

Condition report:

Case: 41 mm excluding crown and pushers, rather thin. The 20 mm lug size adn dual-hole design (one pair for bracelet/strap) make it very versatile and easy to wear.
Never polished while in my possession.
Has swirls, scratches and some dings that can be seen in pictures. The inside of the lugs have some scratches from clumsy strap changes (not mine!). Serial perfectly visible.

Caseback: see-through sapphire crystal. The metal part shows some scratches, dings and swirls. Inscriptions are very crisp.

Sapphire: original, flawless from what I can see.

Dial: impeccable black dial. The dark theme does wonders for readability. Applied hour markers/logo and all inscriptions are, of course, flawless.

Hands: in great shape, can't find any flaws upon normal inspection.

Crowns/pushers: original and working. Winding and setting time seem a bit stiff, but as I've heard it's a characteristic of these movements. Pushers activate properly.

Movement: It houses the Piguet-based Co-Axial 3313 caliber. No idea which version, the 78 million serial approximates a 2006 production date. Chronograph resets properly. Winds and sets time normally, if a bit stiff.
I never experienced issues with it and had it serviced at my trusted watchmaker (June 1st 2016, papers available) simply as it had no known service history. No parts were changed, just oiled, regulated and cleaned.

Please note: I don't know which revision of the movement is inside, nor do I care/plan to find out. I also don't care if it's outside chronometer ratings while wearing it.
I will put it on my vibrograph and take pictures of how it performs now, while in my posession, before shipping. I will also test the chronograph for 24 hours and see how it resets afterwards. I used it around 10-20 times in the three years I've had it, and five times I did it to take pictures 馃榾

Bracelet: Original Omega bracelet with signs of wear (swirls and small scratches). Sized for my 18 cm wrist, comes with three additional links. Please note that some tubes are missing from within these links, so fitting all three may require a watchmaker. This is how I got them, and as I never needed them didn't really care.

Box/Papers: No, this is how I've got it.

-----------------------------------------

Price: [reduced] EUR 2500. EU sale preferred, shipping to be discussed. Bank transfer only.
Will ship once funds clear.
I still love this watch, so don't expect any radical price changes. I will also ignore any aggressive negotiation attempts.

-----------------------------------------

Returns: No returns, sorry. I am raising funds towards recuperating cash spent on incoming piece. Please ask all questions prior to committing and ask for any additional picture to clarify points.
This is a private sale, within the EU, hence I cannot provide any warranty.

Item is located in Craiova, Romania, within the EU. Any additional taxes are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I will provide step-by-step pictures/scans of the packaging and shipping process but once the package leaves my hands I have no power over it.

Feedback:

I am a buyer/seller on Ebay under the same username since September 2000 and have 100% positive feedback with over 717 transactions (close to 1600 individual transactions) and many watches shipped to multiple locations (USA, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands etc.). For any other trust-related issues I can provide further credentials or proof of identity.
I also have several references on WUS, both as a seller and as a buyer. I can provide reference for other transactions as well (Omega 2254.50, Heuer Montreal sold to a very reputable dealer etc.). Also sold twice on Breitlingsource and once on UhrForum.de (where I've also purchased some stuff).
Many successful transactions on OF, two as a buyer and most as a seller (my Longines Chronograph went to Austria, my Blancpain went to France, made several UK buyers happy, accommodated transactions up north etc.). Recently bought a chronograph from a well-established collector here.
