I've read all comments with interest and looked on google images as suggested - is this the way the watch should look? Currently on ebay uk at 拢1995 (18k gold)

then again this one seems to lack the bezel and has the swiss made above the indices with a slightly different dial design

All very confusing and a can of worms.

Ask yourself why a watch without tritium has a "T<25" marking on it 馃う
A marking that wasn't used by Omega, btw 馃う馃う馃う

It is NOT confusing or a "can of worms". The watch you show three posts above this one is a 168.017, which I wrote previously is a completely different watch with a movement from a completely different family of movements!

Deafboy, you show a watch that you claim is called 168.0056, right? It is NOT a 168.0056, it is a 168.053 - of course it looks like the OP's, it's the same reference!

Couldn't we just say it's an ugly watch and let it go at that 馃榿

Please don't get me wrong, I wasn't claiming it was 168.0056; it is just what others thought the reference was from the other OF post. In fact, I was in agreement with you when I wrote "Well, it sure looks like the OP's watch... lol". Just a misunderstanding.

Hey, no sweat!
I have a lot of free time so I improved your avatar.馃槣
Think you both could use a little freshening when you get right down to it.
