Hi all

New to buying watches but have wanted an Omega for a long while so looking to take the plunge.

Have found this watch which I really like. As far as I can tell it's a legit 160.020 (or ST 160.0020) but I can't find any other photos of this dial or similar so I'm wondering if it's a legit Omega dial.

Also wondering on what you'd value the watch at.

Thanks!

 

First time I have seen that layout on a De Ville and judging by the quality I would say it is a redial.

 

Looks like a redial to me too.

 

The second picture is soft due to out of focus or picture enlargement, so assessment based on it would say redial. In contrast, the first picture is sharp and show a high quality and finely printed dial, based on which this is a nice original dial.

The case does not seem to be in great shape which may affect the value a bit.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone. What sort of value would you put on the watch?

I've attached another two pictures one of which shows the detail on the Seamaster and De Ville text a lot better than the soft focus one and makes me think it may be legitimate? The only thing that worries me is the fact I can't find anything about these "waffle" dials on SMDVs...

 

Rust signs on hands and dial. Soft gold-capped case. Serviced but about 3 times overpriced.

 

Thank you

One to swerve though? I love the design and would like to buy a similar dial but given I haven't seen one anything like it I'm worried I won't find another one like it?

 

Very unique dial. Just buy the dial only or for the price of the dial only if you can.

 

Can't see him selling just the dial - I think he's put a lot of time into servicing it looking at the pictures. What would the price of the dial only be in your opinion?

 

Hard to put value on the only one in existence, but if you want to splurge, around $1K maybe, but not at more than $2K like this.

 

Honestly I wouldn't pay anywhere near that...I still believe this is a redial.
look at these pictures of what font should look like...

Specifically I don't like the As in automatic and the De Ville doesn't have the serifs either (look closely at the Ds and Es in De Ville).

 

You're right. Wrong S also.
