·Hello everyone,
I just got my hands on this Seamaster Pre-DeVille with "Art Deco" numerals from my grandfather. It had been sitting forgotten for at least 40 years, and it’s still ticking.
I have some questions about it now that I want to restore it. I haven’t found much information about this reference and dial, so if you could help me…
It’s missing the original buckle. Does anyone know the exact model of buckle for this reference, 14770?
The crystal is missing the small Omega imprint in the middle. Was it replaced?
The seconds hand seems shorter than others I’ve found online. Could it have been replaced?
The dial seems original and not "redialed." It’s missing the "Swiss Made" marking, it’s there but worn out.
I wasn’t able to remove the entire mechanism to check which caliber it is. I could only see the back and found the reference imprinted as "14770 1 SC." Does anyone know what caliber it might be?
Lastly, for the strap, what would you recommend based on the dial and case color?
Thank you!
