·Hello all.
I'm trying to hone my Omega hunting skills and this one caught my eye. First instinct was this looked about right for a 167.005 from what I've researched on the case, metal and dial. The photo is rubbish but the case looks sharp but the crystal not in great nick. Dial looks ok and clean but I was a bit concerned with the colour of the lume on the hands. I think the crown is a replacement. Great to have the BOR bracelet. BUT watch has a 552 movement which I understand is a non-chronometer and only found on Seamasters. Would expect to see a 551 in this one. So all in all will give this one a miss. Hope my instinct is ball-park in the right place!
