··ΩF InvestiGatorSome points:
1. Agree on the Dauphin hands. These look to be Omega hands as I have seen them on other contemporaneous watches. Upon further review, I found several examples with similar hands in both gold-cap and steel. One is one this forum.

2. There should be engraving on the back of the watch, “Ref. 168.015, Use Tool 105”. If it was polished off, then you know that the case was messed with.
3. Movement is correct cal. 564 and serial number is in the range for 1967-68 when these watches were made.
4. Not 100% sold on the dial, but really hard to judge with these pictures. I will leave that to others.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersYep, @gatorcpa is right.
Reasonably common hands variant.
Dauphins hands are more likely on the early versions and I would put this one in 1968 territory, a couple of years after they were first introduced.
The OVDB version has thin black stick hands - like a jet-line C-case. ( no lume version)
So multiple hands versions available it seems.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoWould like an in focus photo of the dial to pass judgment, agree previous assessments as to correctness and condition.
And for god sake whoever is handling the movement with bare fingers, please get some finger cots or gloves.

·In my opinion is a very nice watch. I am not an expert so I will also wait for other thoughts form more experienced members. The spring bars seems a little band so maybe are not the correct ones.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoBlowing up the first photo, I think the dial looks fine.
What is the asking price?

··Vintage Omega AficionadoI'd start at $850, $1000 still seems a bit high considering this is not a particularly sought after model. Ultimately it's up to you how and just much you like it.
