    The gold watch sell-off continues with this honest solid 14K yellow gold Seamaster pre-DeVille. The case has some wear but is in overall nice condition. The case may have been polished but not overly so; the lugs, bezel, and hippocampus logo on the case back are still fairly sharp. The dial is nice but has developed some consistent, light spotting, and the hands have oxidized. I haven't had it opened up and I can't do so myself given it's a unishell case, so I can't confirm the case reference or movement caliber. The movement runs, winds, and sets well, however service history is unknown so a service is recommended prior to regular use.

    Please see below for details, and feel free to message me with questions.

    Dial: Sunburst dial is nice but has developed light spotting throughout. Original hands have developed oxidation. Radium lume is fully intact on both the dial and the hands and has maintained a consistent color. "Swiss" appears below the 6 marker as expected.

    Case: Solid 14k yellow gold case shows some wear but is in nice condition. It may have been polished, but the lug and bezel edges as well as the hippocampus logo on the case back are still fairly sharp. Case reference is unknown. Case is 34mm in diameter and lugs are 18mm.

    Crown: Signed crown (assuming original but no way to know for sure).

    Crystal: Signed crystal (Omega etched in center) has some light scratches that should buff out (assuming crystal is original but no way to know for sure).

    Movement: Movement caliber is unknown. Watch runs, winds, and sets well. Service history is unknown so a service is recommended prior to use.

    Strap:
    Generic brown leather strap with a yellow gold plated buckle.

    Price is $900 (reduced from $1,000). I'll cover insured US shipping, and international shipping is available but will be discussed with buyer. OF seller reviews are here. Returns are accepted if watch is grossly misrepresented. Watch is located in Seattle, WA, USA.

    Thanks!
