Recently aquired watch. Please let me know your thoughts. Most important, I am having trouble identifying if the bracelet/clasp is authentic. Cannot find this bracelet anywhere.
Here are some pics of watch/clasp/bracelet:

 

There was a lot of weird stuff produced in a lot of places under license for Omega in that time period. I'm more inclined to say it's real than it's not, though of course someone could have put an Omega clasp on some random bracelet... but those end-pieces fit too well with no signs of major adjustment.

Thanks for the reply

 

Don't worry too much about the bracelet. Its a redial already.

 

I just looked at this in detail as I thought it looked fine on my phone but knowing hoi's reputation...

I have a mid sixties 166.0010:


That's the only picture I have on the phone but just took this detail of the Seamaster on the dial under poor lighting. Now I compare to the OP's watch, I assume that @hoipolloi is seeing the different fonts to this?


To the OP: if you like the watch, it actually looks very nice but it is different to mine which I believe is original. Mine is a different model but, I believe it should look like this.

Cheers, Chris

 

Does a redial make it worth a lot less?

 

Serious collectors don't collect redial and the price is about 1/3 less comparing to originals (Desmond said) but I think 1/2.
If you only need a watch to put on your wrist that's fine but I don't want the dealer sold you a redial with the price of an original.
Why I call it a redial?
It needs a t or 2 t's right next to swiss made
The Seamaster font like ChrisN has mentioned
And the minute markers between 4 and 5 c'clock are so sloppy. Originals don't have that.
Regards

 

Is 750.00 a decent price?

 

750 what? Euro? NZ dollars? Pesos?
US$750 is too much for a redial. It would be a reasonable price if it was all original.

 

So I should return?
