    Greetings OF community.

    The watch
    : I am offering a 1968 automatic Stainless Steel Omega Seamaster Deville, in very good vintage condition. Reference 166.020, with movement cal 563. I have owned the watch for nearly 2 years and not worn it other than to photograph it. Making room for new incoming. Many photos in different light conditions including indirect and direct sunlight. Movement photos from prior seller at time of service.

    DIAL: Silver starburst dial in excellent vintage condition, almost no age spotting only minor imperfections seen with loupe. All original with applied Omega logo and stick indices. Tritium lume pips at periphery of all indices, seen with UV light on photo. Date window at 3:00. Dial is almost perfect, with a slight dimple noted between 9-10 indices on periphery. Only seen on some angles if I didn’t point it out probably never notice. But I prefer full disclosure.

    HANDS: Original lumed baton hands with some patina visible, glow briefly with UV and quickly fade typical of original tritium.
    CASE: Stainless steel front opening monocoque case, I believe unpolished in very good condition with sharp factory caselines.
    CROWN: Original flat foot Omega signed, functioning well. Pull in and out for quicket date, working.
    CASE DIAMETER: 34 mm, lug width 18 mm
    CASE BACK: Original front-opening stainless with nicely inset Seamonster and Omega logo.
    MARKINGS/SERIAL NUMBER/DATE: SN 27171877, dating movement manufacture to 1968.
    MOVEMENT: Omega cal 563 automatic, 17 jewels, with date, clean as seen keeping good vintage time. Quickset function working, pull out crown to advance date. Watch was reported serviced by prior seller without written documentation, with some photos of open dial and case as shown.
    BRACELET/STRAP: Offering options 1) with pictured 9-bead BOR original Omega bracelet, sized to fit 7.5” wrist, or alternatively 2) head only at reduced price as below. Bracelet has Omega markings but no number, but is Omega original. Total 20 links. 513 endlinks, which are not original to this watch but work well. 570 or 70 endlinks would be original and are findable if desired.
    CRYSTAL: May be original or Omega replacement acrylic crystal with Omega symbol etched in center , no significant scratches, good
    ACCESSORIES: Watch and bracelet only, or head only, buyers choice, no box or papers

    Asking Price: USD $625 net to me with bracelet, or $550 head only.
    SHIPPING:
    shipping to be discussed based on carrier and destination, shipping from Florida until March 18, after that I am in Toronto, Canada, will ship insured with signature confirmation.
    Payment: PAYPAL FF or WISE preferred, will do GS with 4% fee from established OF members, Zelle also accepted from US
