Dear All on Omega Forums, my first post, and i hope some of you may be able to provide me with the missing link(s) !

I recently traded my way to a 166.091 - the trade was good, and i am happy.
But the 166.091 i got in the trade kind of confuses me a bit, as the hands and movement seems a bit, different to what i am able to google my way to..

As the pictures show, the Seamaster 200, have the hands i would refer to as proplof, and to what i can find, it should not be so, but more like a black sword hand ?

Secondly, the moment shows to be a 1001 - and not a 1002 as i should be ?

So, in short my questions are;

Are the hands original, in the terms that this model has been supplied with these hands ? - or replaced to the proplof ?
Are the moment the correct, or maybe a watchmaker replaced the automatic bridge with what he "had around " at some point in time ?

I hope some of you are able to assist me

Best,

Adam

 

Hi Adam,

The hands are from a PloProf... I can't tell you about the movement unfortuantely, but the one I owned had a cal.1002 inside.

Hi,
I am afraid that your doubts are correct.
1. The hands should be black sword hands.
2. The movement should be cal.1002. Chronometer movement 1001 is for Constellation. IMO

 

Dial not original, either replacement or fake

 

Ok - can you educate me on how to spot that ?

 

I've seen yours a few time but I'm not sure it's genuine replacement.
Compare it to mine:

 

Okay, super - thanks ! - so i might have a franken on my hands

 

What's the movement serial number?

 

Hands were a very popular replacement in dive watches by divers in the day these watches were new. Not only on Omega watches

 

Missing date window surround... suspect not service replacement.

 

Serial number on movement is 29.029.730

 

too early for that model anyway

 

Correct hands if you want them.

How good are the guys here at OF even link the hands needed for you

 

You guys are just great - although i did manage to find hands on myself! - what really troubles me at the moment, is actually the dial being, with great chance, a redial. And finding a correct one there, is well not so easy.

Secondly, upon further examining of my watch, i find the date disc to be with a silver, and not correctly white or black background.

All in all, if i am to wear it as a daily beater, then who cares; replace the datering, right dial and right hands and off you go..

But; that just kinda feels like when you were 7 and the dream for christmas was that Lego Technic set, and then you get a sweater....
