Mystery Omega


Recommended Posts

Hi, sorry but I can't post pictures at the moment.

I have a vintage Omega which is marked as an Omega Automatic Deville.

In perfect condition

it has no symbols on the case back.

Marked on the back with "WATERPROOF 166 051 TOOL 107 "

There is no way to get into the back so obviously access is through the dial side.

Does this sound genuine or have I been conned.

Opinions please

My other question which I forgot to ask is does anyone know how to get into the watch I have described

There nothing that a picture will tell you. 

Everything looks good  but I wanted to know if this rang a bell with anyone.

I have about 30 Omegas but I am puzzled by this one.

Then as a collector you should own a book, or know well the websites to compare the reference and visualize other Deville front loaders - most often a simple Google search is enough. Since you mentioned the worry of having being scammed I understood you was worried about authenticity, for which as logic dictates, pictures are absolutely indispensable.

I have loads of books but have not seen any references to this type of case.

I would say that most books have photos of the dial side but do not show photos of a virtually plain solid back.

I was asking if anyone knew of this type of case and how I could get into it

The one which uses this back, I have found, is mostly the Dynamic model which I have never been drawn to, so had no need to investigate. Hence my lack of knowledge.

You seem to have taken some offence with the post, I don't know why, but a bit of help with a simple problem would have been appreciated.

As I said earlier I got help and explanation from another source and now know more about this watch. Surely this is what collecting is all about

No offense but I believe than posting pictures helps others help you. Hope you won't be bothered by that :).
