Here's JAG's watch !
In Response To: Thanks ()


Hi Guys,

Here's JAG's watch



Thanks for sharing this with us JAG.

Here's a large version of what I believe couild be the watch.

Note the text... the text says they are Seamaster DeVille's even though de Ville does not appear on the dial. The marker at 09:00 is also slightly different. The date is an optional feature. The watch WAS available form Omega on an "elastic" bracelet.

It's possible that your watch is a year or 2 newer or older.

It does however look to still have the original hands & crown.

It's very possible that your watch is 100% original, which I find quite amazing for a watch sold in the early 60's

If you do anything to the watch at all, I'd recommend getting all the old parts back ( with the possible exception of the crystal ).

If you ever take the watch to a watchmaker, as him to write down & give you the following numbers.

The Serial number, this will be on the movement somewhere & will be an 8 digit number.
You can read more about serial numbers here.
This number will help you get an approximate date of manufacture.

The movement number this will be a 3 digit number on the movement somewhere. I am NOT a movement expert, as long as they work that's OK with me.

The Case Reference number This will be stamped on the inside of the case back. This is the "model" number of the watch & identifies the type.

I hope this helps

Steve
