Hi everyone I am new to Omega watch buying and wanted to purchase a vintage watch and have therefore purchased an Omega automatic De Ville cal 1012 circa 1973 number 162 0063 this the one with the date at the 6 o'clock position.
Seems very clean and matched it against the Omega database, what's the thoughts on this watch is it a good introduction into the world of Omega?

Regards
Kevin

I have attached the original photo's of the watch purchased not the best but gives you an idea will post better when it arrives.

Regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin

Welcome to the forum. I own a few 60's Omega's but don't know the one you are talking about. Perhaps you can put a few pictures so we can get an idea of what it looks like. I do think it is a good introduction to Omega as my first Omega's were vintage and soon bought a few modern Seamasters.

Here's on of my mine

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to WTF and the world of vintage Omegas! It sounds as though you did a good amount of research before making your purchase, so good for you. As for what you bought, any pictures you can supply us with will go a long way in helping you out with any questions you may have regarding things like condition and authenticity. The watch you bought is a nice way to get your vintage feet wet. The 1012 was the non-chronometer successor to Omega's amazing caliber 5xx, so it isn't the best but it isn't exactly a slouch either.

We're looking forward to seeing pics of it when you receive it. Congrats!:thumbup1:
