Hi,

Being new to the forum I'm not sure if this is posted in the right place, if not please let me know

I'm now in the position where I can were nice clothes, watches etc. to work and I've been lusting after vintage Omega watches, to make a long story short I got caught up on an Ebay auction were I lost 2 mint condition Geneve's, so in the madness I put a bid on a Seamaster DeVille, and won. Now, after some research I'm questioning the authenticity and would like to ask those in the know if I screwed up or not

It's dated 1967 with a 565 movement

Thanks in advance Mark

 

That looks nothing like an Omega case. Return for a refund if you can.

 

Hi,

That is not an Omega case. Nevertheless, if it were, all the "De Ville" line watches don't have any caseback. These watches open from the front, not from the back.

That being said, the dial and movement appear to be original.

Best,
Javi.

 

Thank you both for verifying my issues

Mark

 

The crystal is also wrong. Never been a fan of cyclops date window and Omega thankfully never really embraced this concept.

 

I have $275 US invested so I will be returning it

Thanks again Mark

 

Are you able to return the watch?

 

I see that we must have posted at the same time. Glad you are able to return it

 

If you're prepared to go to 275 USD try and be patient...you can get quite a lot of watch for that..

 

Unfortunately patients is not my strong point but you're absolutely right, I'll enjoy my Orient Symphony V2 Automatic while I search, and most of all RESEARCH

With the dial and movement being correct would it be wise to find the proper case, if so which would be the correct one

TIA Mark

 

Not worth the trouble and will end up being just as expensive as a good complete one. Keep looking as they do turn up.
