    Hello OF,

    This is a 1950s-1960s Omega Seamaster De Ville. It has a unique seashell style dial which is quite uncommon. It is in good condition and it has been recent serviced (complete overhaul) with 8 months of warranty left. I try to describe the watch as accurately as I can but please understand I am a relatively new collector. Please feel free to point out any mistakes in my listing and I would update it accordingly. No hard feelings.


    Dial
    Original seashell dial with Roman numerals at 3,6,9 and 12. Minor imperfections on the dial but the script is original, not refinished EXCEPT for the lume plots on this watch has been RELUMED. The small lume plots are next to each hour markers.

    I would like to point your attention to the two dents(protruding towards us) on the dial which are to the left and right of the 6 o clock marker. I’ve tried my best to capture them at an angle which makes them more obvious in the photos but it is not as noticeable in real life.
    There are also tiny scratches of the dial near the centre which I really struggled to photograph. These scratches are not noticeable on the wrist and only appear under bright light and scrutiny.

    Case
    34.5mm Sharp 14k gold filled case, bevels on the lugs and seamaster logo still present and sharp. Genuine and original crown.


    Movement
    Cal 570 movement, recently full overhauled by a watchmaker with roughly 8 months of guarantee left. There isn't much information on about it online but it seems to be the smaller version of the cal 550 family and not many has been produced. It is commonly found in Seamasters.

    Accessories
    Watch comes with the strap as shown in the photos. I have some other straps available if you’d like to choose but I think this strap matches the most.

    It has been serviced recently with a 8 months of guarantee left. Paperwork for the service included.

    Why I am selling
    I have set my eyes on another watch and this beauty is not getting enough time on my wrist.


    Nitty-gritties
    I’m asking for £700 nett to me, inclusive of shipping within U.K. International shipping at cost, minus £10.
    Bank transfer or PayPal gift preferred. I’m willing to split PayPal fees (add 2%) if it helps. I’m a relatively new collector but I have sold two other watches on this forum before. Returns accepted only if grossly misrepresented as I am trying to get more funds for the new watch.

    Thanks for your time and thanks to OF for the space.

    Please note that the mark outside of the 9 o clock numeral is just a smudge. There is no blemish or defect there.

    Weekend bump!

    I've offered it at cost price to OF. It's on eBay for a higher price. :)
