Hi everyone,

Recently purchased an Omega, mainly because I loved the look of the watch, however, having looked up the serial number on the inside of the case it describes it as a sea master 1976.

Omegas website shows a slightly different dial than my watch. I am nowhere near knowledgeable enough to determine if my watch is correct or not, can anyone advise.

I have enclosed photographs and a link to the Omega site.

Looks genuine to me.

 Caliber 1010 is inscribed on your watch, Gg to Dr ranfft database to see picture of the movement and some additional info.

Google,    Omega 1010 ranfft

Probably you have looked the reference from the caseback, not the serial which may be stamped on the mov.t.
Anyway it is indeed a authentic Seamaster De Ville.

Thanks Nucejoe 

Much appreciated, now I just have to service it which I’m looking forward to with slight trepidation as I know I can’t afford to damage anything with rarity of parts.

That’s good to know, I was a little unsure after I bought it as the info I found said screw back and printing in disk was different.

Thanks again

Looks real and the crystal is original. See the little Omega symbol stamped on the underside?

Thanks noirrac1j,

Much appreciate the info, got out my loupe and found the Omega logo on the crystal, I would never have found that if you hadn’t pointed it out.

Much happier now as I really like this style of watch and have wanted an Omega for years.

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.

      The sping is not pushing directly on the cap, but is pushing against the spindle. So, even if the usual black cap is replaced with the micrometer cap, the spindle is still pushed up.

      But he tells that the micrometer cap doesn't screw into the spindle. How can the spring push the spindle up if there's nothing to grip? There is a screw visible on top of the micrometer cap so should it be able to screw into the spindle? I'm feeling really dumb now. Does anyone manufacture that cap as an aftermarket item? Might be worth investing. Ok so the spindle is different, now I get it.

      I suppose? If it worked before and it doesn't work now I guess the question would be why does it not work now? That would come back to if you did not have the chronograph module on will it work or is the chronograph module sucking too much power out of the watch basically 99 usually when they go bad you can hold on the tube part and usually just spin the wheel because it has zero holding at all so usually when they go bad they go bad very bad. You should build hotel when you set the watch as to whether it seems to have any friction or not. I'm just wondering if the chronograph module is the problem.
