Persistence pays or how I'm in love with a De Ville ...
Exactly 3 months and 2 days ago, Gary shared with us his De Ville Chronograph, in this post: omega.watchprosite.com On a reply to his post, I said that: "A similar one is being offered on our Sunday market". Since this time, I'm seeing this watch on the S...
Great catch, Nilo! :)
Congrats - looks great! Very dressy! As always, great pics. Best Blomman
Thank you ...
Blomman, Since you "captured" all plus some of the Memos of this galaxy .... Now serious. I love simple and well designed watches (LLD, Speedmasters etc.). This one has the required simplicity, manual wind and the legendary 861 movement and, of course, a ...
De Ville update ...
Today I did a quick "stop over" on my watchmaker's office since I sent the De Ville to be checked. Great news is that the watch, I know that the caliber 861 is not C.O.S.C., is running in great shape (amplitude, beat error), with an accuracy far better th...
Congratulations....
.... On a really nice catch I would have picked it first time around. Best Hans
I remember that thread well, Nilo . . .
. . . glad to see the ending was a happy one ;-) . . .
Beautiful pics and watch. I remember seeing it alongside its black version...
...at the AD when I was just developing the watch bug. Enjoy the watch. Ruckdee
A friend has a black dialed one ...
We go to our weekly GTG and I will try to capture a Yin Yang picture. I'm curious to see how the black dial influences the overall look. Cheers, Nilo
congrats Nilo. i see it as a modern version of this
this, and its deville variant are seen as the vintage dressy version of the 321 cal speedmaster and yours is really its modern update. i'm not usually a fan of modern Omega's but this is a nice piece. best Graham...
It's some sort of modern
Hi Graham, I agree with your view. It's some sort of re-edition (similar to the LLD) of those glorious 321 based Seamasters. Cheers and a great weekend, Nilo
Hello Nilo! What a most handsome chrono you shre with us! ...
... congrats on that great capture for your stable! Which is the approximate vintage of this beauty? Love chronos in general, and both Omega and Rolex ones in special. Vintage Rolex chronos are a definitively out of reach prize for me, so I look after Ome...
Not that old ...
It's a 90's watch (carries a serial number on the outside of the case, matches the movement number), 48 mil. Cheers, Nilo
1990`s ... Still a bit far from being vintage yet, but anyway...
... a wonderful watch to enjoy on the wrist right now! Beautiful Omega you got there Nilo! Kind regards, Abel.
This thread made me change my mind
Hello, I own the same watch with a ss bracelet for 16 years now. It was my first mechanical watch. I was browsing the Internet in order to estimate a price, because I was planning to sell my watch, since I didn´t wear it in the past 7 years, but after I s...
That is great!
Libero, Sometimes we own a watch and, for many reasons, we ignore it for months or years. Then, we rediscover the watch and, this is my experience, it looks and feels amazing. Enjoy your DeVille. Great looks and internally is a tried and true Speedmaster ...
No bracelet ...
But here is a pic of a set (from a friend) with the bracelet: (mine is in front) Here you have all options. Cheers, Nilo...
i was looking at a...
i was looking at a steel Deville with the brick link bracelet a la constellation grand luxe. the workmanship on the new bricklink is superb and unlike the original gold one, you can remove links to make it fit. i owned a YG grandluxe for 3 weeks and sold ...
you'd never know the bracelet...
you'd never know the bracelet wasnt correct for the watch. it looks really good and gives the impression that it doesnt move around as much as a beads of rice bracelet. i've got 2 beads of rice and they look good on the period pieces, but their not reknow...
That is a very fine piece..
... Of Omega history you have acquired I remember the thread were you mentioned the market, and I have crossed my fingers since that you took a move So, huge congratulations from me Best Hans
