Omega
Offered for sale is a vintage Swiss Made Omega Seamaster men's dress watch with reference 166.002, dating back to 1966 based on its serial number. The watch features a slender gold plated stainless steel case which measures 34mm in diameter and just under 11mm in thickness. The dial on this particular example comes in a creamy off-white/silvery sunburst finish. Polished gold tone stick shaped hands indicate the time on gold tone indices. Inside the watch sits a renowned Omega 565 automatic movement, which is working perfectly. The watch comes on a Hirsch "Duke" brown leather strap with quick release spring bars and generic gold plated buckle, ready to wear.
The example sold here appears to have had quite the life, and is sold as a bargain at a bargain price given its fair but honest condition. You will definitely find wear marks on the case and lugs, most notably some dings to the side of the bottom right lug. The case has been cleaned thoroughly, but was left unpolished to maintain its original edges and curves. A brand new generic but properly fitting plexiglass crystal was fitted. The crown was worn, and was also replaced with a brand new yet generic example. The dial shows some minor signs of age and the lume in the hands has cracked, but otherwise the watch face has stood the test of time well.
The movement might look a little rough in certain places, but functionally it is working perfectly. It has received a full service prior to sale: the movement was entirely disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and regulated. Many parts were replaced with nothing but original Omega parts to ensure that it is good to go again. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Sold as watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are present with this piece.
Your newly acquired timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
