Well, I’m sorry that you didn’t get it, it looked really nice and a good price but I’m still a little puzzled as to why there were only two bidders.
(I’ve got a couple of C case Connies and although I was tempted, I thought two’s enough)
Apologies for discussing in this thread. I’m still unsure of the exact etiquette on this.
I say save your money. I could almost handle the dirty dial but the missing indices are pretty bad. Not sure about value of the watch, but I wouldn’t want to look at it myself. Unless you’re thinking of sourcing a replacement dial or a redial or something.
Don’t overpay for this as there’s some patina to the metallic blue dial, but its a Cal 750/752 De Ville 166.095 in steel and at around 36mm diameter they’re a nice entry level piece.

Since reading your excellent article about these a few days ago I’ve been keeping an eye out for these funky looking watches. I noticed this one yesterday as well but thought the dial decay around the edges suggested water ingress. Do you think it’s just patina?
These aren’t the original hands, but I wouldn’t overly care because of that nice special dial on this Seamaster De Ville

I'd say these are the original hands.
This is interesting in that the Conoco logo is applied metal on the dial, and a nice steel DeVille
