Hi everyone!
I'm new in the watches world and looking for vintage Seamaster DeVile. I found on chrono this one https://www.chrono24.pl/omega/omega...solid-gold-1963s-135020-sc-62--id34785776.htm and wondering if it is possible that ref 135.020 was made fully from solid 18k gold? Full ref on the envelope is 135.020 SC-62, but i can't find anything (with that reference) that doesn't have a stainless steel case.
Thank you in advance 😀

The watch looks perfectly genuine. It does have two issues though.
1. The case has been severely overpolished
2. I think it’s quite expensive for a manual wind DeVille with an overpolished 18ct case

Hi, I'm still hunting for a vintage Omega. This time I managed to find a ref. 166.001. The price is around 2,700 USD. Below are the pictures.

What do you think about it? The pictures are not very high quality, the seller is a collector of Omega watches

I think photos are not very high quality, but it is not overpolished, but when i try to find this ref here https://database.omegaaddict.com/ i cant find anything. I was searching in chrono24 by ref (here is the link https://www.chrono24.pl/omega/ref-166001.htm) and clock hands are different so i dont know if they are original or not

Case is quite damaged for that price imo. You are better off finding something NOS-like at that price.

I think the case and dial are nice. Overall it’s a nice watch imo. However, I think it’s quite expensive.

It seems that there is a lot of interest in gold, gold-filled, etc. Omega sport models among new members recently. Quite unusual.

Gold-filled versions are cheaper vs steel, solid gold watches are also an investment in metal.. That could be why.
