It's a non Omega bracelet, but yes it's a 168.010.
I'm actually trying to buy a 168.005 with that dial, can't find one with a decent dial and case.
I'm considering buying this, then getting a 168.005 with a decent case and performing surgery.
Yes, I'm aware that's heracy.
Thanks for your input.
Only problem with plan is that, IIRC, the dial sizes are different in the .005 and .010.
Buy the .010 and enjoy it (if you like it and the price is right) - they wear really well on the wrist.
This. Same movements don't necessarily mean interchangability between refs. You could look for 14393s with dials you like, those can indeed be swapped with 168.005s (and 14902s).
A comment, if I may: Those kind of projects rarely lead to a cheaper outcome. 168.005s were produced in significant numbers. Not too difficult to find with a bit of patience, especially at the place where you found that 168.010 above.

I think 14393, 168.005 and 168.010 have different dial sizes and they are NOT interchangeable.
14393 is smallest. 168.005 is the medium and 168.010 is the largest.
