·Hi everyone,
First post. I’ve recently become the owner of this vintage 166.002. I primarily am curious about the originality of the dial. Please see some info and photos below:
Movement: Cal 560
Original crown
SGM stamped case back
Serial links watch to 1964 production
Main concern which makes me question:
There is Lume present but no T on dial. My Geiger confirms this is not radium. I was initially concerned about originality because of this fact but from research, it seems like a 1964 watch imported for the US market with the 560 movement very well could not have had a T next to “Swiss” to indicate tritium.
Seems like this “generic” version with a 560 movement is also quite rare so I’d be interested in any facts anyone has!
Thank you very much
