1965 Omega Seamaster Deville - authentic dial? Value?

Hey everyone, I have an Omega Seamaster. According to Chrono 24, the reference number is 165.020. I know this is 14k, and it has a 1020 cal. To my knowledge, the dial is not painted. I have not consulted with anyone, however. It comes with the original box. I don't seem to have any papers, and unsure of service history. Purchased from Arkansas in 2015 via an eBay auction (unfortunately the eBay link my thread from 2015 goes nowhere).

Just wondering if anyone has any insight into the likelihood the dial is authentic which I believe it is. As well as an approximate value of this watch based on the condition that appears in the photos. Servicing is recommended based on the last time of service. The leather band is not genuine.

Any insight or advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Ref 165.020 does not have a cal 1020. 550/552 would be correct.

Probably a service dial, one would expect applied OMEGA not printed.

Value, try eBay SOLD listings.

Agree certainly not a cal 1020.

It’s uncommon but DeVilles are seen with printed Omega text. Most commonly on manual wind models but some of the very last autos also had printed Omega, albeit usually with textured/coloured dials, so it’s possibly original.
