Vintage Seamaster DeVille 166.020 Factory Original Black Gilt Gloss Dial w Beads of Rice Bracelet
Vintage Seamaster DeVille 166.020 Factory Original Black Gilt Gloss Dial w Beads of Rice Bracelet
Offering for sale my Seamaster DeVille 166.020 with beautiful black gilt dial and Beads of Rice bracelet. As most people are aware, the vast majority of black dialed Seamaster Devilles are redials. This one is factory original and in excellent condition, complete with its beads of rice bracelet.
Photographing these is a nightmare due to the gloss dial so I’ve tried to include pictures from all angles.
Details:
