Hello, friends! I'm having trouble making sense of the Omega Vintage Database, though the Naligazone one is giving me a glimmer of hope.
You see, I already bought the watch featured below, but it was sort of a fluke and thankfully inexpensive, due to its rough condition. But, still, I want to believe that it isn't a monster!
Here are the facts:
- caliber 561 movement
- ca. 1966 serial number (23,049,904)
- housed in a 168.005 case
Naligazone indicates that this case came in stainless steel. That's good.
But both it and OVD seem to suggest that a watch with this serial number should have cal 564 movement. Is it possible that they were still installing 561's in this case as late as 1966? As best as I can tell, the 564's started appearing in this case in 1965, but this serial number is low for 1966...am I grasping at straws?
What do you think? Thank you in advance for your insight!
