You say 'rare' but I鈥檓 sorry to tell you that it鈥檚 actually 鈥榰nique'.
I hope that you haven鈥檛 paid too much for what in collector鈥檚 jargon is called a 'frankenwatch'.
The dial is repainted.
The 552 (very reliable) movement but, as you can see, it鈥檚 a no date version and the case/caseback is for a date version. 166 is the Omega code for a date watch whilst the code for a 552 no date is always 165.***. The case has been over polished and lost it鈥檚 sharpness.
If you love the watch, then enjoy it but it鈥檚 probably not worth what you paid and, if you can return it then you鈥檒l have to crack on with it.
