Beautiful Seamastr DeVille
I recently found this beautiful Seamaster DeVille in good conditions, ref. 166.0020 automatic mechanical cal. 562/565 after 1965. It has a mm 34,4 diameter stainless steel case and it's a unishell (case opening on dial side) case back with the typical Seamaster logo; the cream dial has hand-rivetted gold hour markers and “stick ” hands, and the original crystal is of armoured hesalite. Thanks for looking and your impressions, ciao! Roberto

Really a beauty
Hi Roberto, congratulations on your vintage Seamaster! I like these vintage Omegas myself a lot for their classic design and their affordability. Besides there are very nicely refurbished ones available. To me the date window in your watch (i.e. the date ...

Hi anaesdoc, For me the date numbers do not look odd at all - it may be a different iteration. The number "1" is written in "German mode" whereas in your examples it is written in the "Angloamerican mode" maybe this is the reason for the difference? kind ...
Point taken, Erich!
That´s why I wanted the experts to give their opinion. My "expertise" constitutes itself from the limited numbers of watches I own, which is not much! Kind regards, anaesdoc

Hi everyone
I got a similar look as Graham's watch except the markers and it is a quick set date. The cal should be 563 or 565 I don't know until the case opened.It's keeping very good time so I don't want to have the case opened to see the movement.Just wait for the...
