GK12
·Gday All,
First time poster, newbie to the world of Seamasters. Finding an absolute wealth of advice on this forum.
I’ve found a local seller of a 1963 Seamaster De Ville in what I think to be the 18K (?) livery.
I’d like to visit it in person but kinda wanna get my ducks in a row first, facts on the watch so far:
The gentleman is asking a fairly premium price for it ($1800 AUD = $1150 US), but I’m not sure what these gold examples in this type of condition command? I’ve seen the steel cases, in very good condition, normally around the $1000-1200 AUD mark.
Am i asking all the right questions?
Anything else I should consider prior to having an inspection?
Cheers in advance!

- was a gift to the owners father (has a 1963 personal dated engraving on the case back, so appears to have good provenance)
- was serviced recently by a local Omega agent
- unsure of Cal yet - hoping to get some details on which one when I visit
- some evidence of light corrosion on the very top of the dial
- no strap (not a biggie)
