    Old Seamaster

    An old boy I know wants to sell this watch...

    I’m trying to get him a fair price for it.
    I’ve had a little look on Chrono24 but I can’t see anything exactly the same as this, so any advice on value would be appreciated.

    We did a service on it a couple of months ago.

    Most likely I’ll do a proper sales post once I’ve established a fair value and checked it with him.

    Sorry photos are not great.

    Thanks.

    Strange it looks like a Deville case with a standard dial !
    Has the dial been refinished?

    I have no idea but it’s plainer than anything I can find.

    Hi James. Was there any information from the service? Often there is reference to the movement type and case etc?

    there is something similar on eBay for about £450 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Sea....m46890.l49292

    looks like this vintage deville but replacement dial?



    Maybe ask a local watchmaker to take the back off to check the back of the case and movement number? Good luck

    There's scans of old Omega catalogues here -

    Does look like an early 1960's Deville Seamaster

    Front loading DeVille Seamaster or similar as already mentioned.

    Dial has been repainted which will really hurt the cost. Looks to be the wrong crown as well.

    If it was serviced by the OP or his agent I would think the case numbers should have been taken at the time which will verify the model exactly.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    My watchmaker will have the numbers. Just thought this would be a quick way to get a rough idea what it is.
    I've never had any interest in this period of Omegas so with the volume of watches we get I didn't pay it much attention until he later contacted me about selling it.
