FS: Reduced: Stainless Steel Omega DeVille 146.017 (cal 930)

On offer's a watch I spent awhile chasing, and finally found a great example of, only to discover it's not quite to my liking. This DeVille's in excellent shape, with a pristine dial other than a few very small spots on the 9 o'clock subdial (and one almost unnoticeable on in the 3 o'clock subdial). The lume plot at 9 is gone, but the rest are complete and match the hands. There's light fading to the tachymeter ring from 6-8, but it's still legible. The crystal's got a scratch at 11 and seems to be unoriginal, as I can't find the omega symbol at its center. The crown and pushers are original, and the case seems to me to feature its factory polish. There's a spot at the top left lug, and light wear on the case, but it's an otherwise fine example.

The cal 930 is running very well. Service date unknown, but it keeps accurate time, date advances as it should, and chrono starts/stops/resets precisely. The screws that secure the movement in the case are present, but one of the tabs that secures the movement is missing (the one that should be beneath the screw at the pusher, in the 3rd picture). While it doesn't affect the watch's performance, you can feel the movement knock if you're doing something active. I just haven't gotten to fixing it yet. Sale is for head only.

I'm offering this for $2600 ONO. Happy to provide references, more pictures, answer questions, etc.; also happy to work out shipping and payment method with buyer. Thanks for looking, at to Jeff/CT for the space+community.
