Hello, I’m new to the forums and to owning omegas but really liked the look of this vintage seamaster on eBay. I have since purchased the watch and am very pleased with it, would anyone be able to give any more details about the watch? Possible year and whether it’s real? Thanks

To get the approximate year, you need to read the serial number from that small circle above the cal "1012." Then compare it to the Omega serial number chart.

Hi, reference # 166.0173 is the model, movement is a 1012, I can't quite make out the serial number on the movement. That number will give you the year of manufacture which will be late 60s or seventies.
