Help with a 165.024 (1967)

Hi!

Found this for sale locally. Seller represents everything is original except the bracelet. Looks re-lumed to me but that always tricky to tell. He has the omega certificate.

Anything fishy here?

cheers

Looks good to me. Agree, hard to tell with the lume , but if it’s redone it looks fine. Do you have any pics of the crown?

Looks like the original flat foot crown! Overall, I agree that it looks fine. Although, it is hard to tell if it is relumed or has the original tritium hands from the photo. If you can, I'd try to request a photo in natural light.

It looks OK to me.

As noted by @redpcar I agree that the dial print looks off when compared to all 165.024 I have in my archives, as shown in comparison to this specific example with a close serial number (25.575.XXX) which shares the same bezel MK, and CB case.
Note the differences in the 12,3,6,9 numerals on the dial.
Based on these (not so great) pictures I would say that this is a "better than normal quality" redial.

Actually, this dial is okay. Hard to be certain about a relume from the photos, but my guess is original. Hands might be relumed.

thank you. This helps! I was wondering if the uneven nature of some numbers and print was due to the crystal being quite scratched and the optics it created. I guess the only way to know is to have it renoved.
