This dial isn't quite the same as my 165.003 below, which dates from 1965. Not the most close-up photo but the only one I have showing all the text and I think you can see enough. On mine, "OMEGA AUTOMATIC" is seriffed and the centre of the Ms dips all the way down. "Seamaster" is close but not quite there either: the first "a" in particular isn't quite the same, the crossbar of the "t" is shorter here, the second "s" and the "r" don't rise as high and the tail on the "r" is shorter. "Swiss Made" looks clumsy, and finally I am not seeing the sunburst finish I would expect. I know that dials were contracted out and there might be some slight variation, but too much looks wrong here. I say redial.
