Hi,

I bought this Omega Seamaster De Ville from someone I know. I tried to check in the Omega Vintage website or secondhand Omega websites but I cant find any watch similar like this one. Do you know anything about this model?
I attached some fotos for your reference.

Hope to see some feedback.

Thanks

I've never seen this before. Can you tell us what's on the caseback? Maybe it will give some kind of a hint towards why this dial is printed/painted.

So it is real? I really hope it is real one. I like it a lot but still quite concern if it is real or not. Thank you

I dont have a picture of the inside back case yet. Indeed i cant find any similar one yet which makes me a bit worry if it is real

This watch comes with overpolished 166.020 case, re-finished dial, wrong crown and fake buckle.

Thanks for the link with 2 nice examples.

Looking at this watch in the OP again, I now feel that it is a redial. There are some things on the dial that look off and the bad condition of the movement and case is not right for the new looking dial.

I also note that the cross dials in the "special dial" thread do not have minute markers in the horizontal section of the cross.
