Does this dial look original? (Seamaster 166.026)

I'm interested to get your take if you think this dial (or the hands) have been modified on this Seamaster (ref. 166.026)?

Thanks in advance!

It’s original.
The ‘rule’ about broken crosshairs doesn’t apply to the late 60’s/early 70’s.

Looks good to me.

Thanks. I'm glad you chimed in since you seem to be very familiar with these era Seamasters

Looks good, but crown is a replacement I think, not a big deal though.

Yes, the Seller was upfront about disclosing that and showing pictures of the crown. It's not signed. I'd like to replace it with a correct, signed, crown at some point. First I need to actually get my hands on the watch. It was shipped on Monday the 7th from seller's city (here in the US) and USPS shows that it made it to the next major city in that state the following day....and has been stuck there for the last 6 days. USPS is the WORST. I should have asked the Seller what carrier he was using. This same situation happened on a specialty automotive part I bought back in July. Took them 5 weeks to deliver something from California to Arizona. SMH
