·Why can't you find anything about the watch? Is Google broken down?
Is this a sales offer?

·it is not for sale put on the internet, I found it at a local watchmaker, and on the omega site according to the reference 166.003 there is only one model with a few details, instead on google I did not find a similar model after which to get an idea. This is the model on omega site.

·The watch looks legit and appears to be in good shape.
You should ask if the movement has been serviced.

It's not necessary to find the exact same configuration in order to determine value. That's not how valuation is done. You identify many comparable examples and then make adjustments for features and condition, which requires knowledge and expertise.

·I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're asking. This is the seller's website. None of those listings have any movement or case back photos, so you're going by the seller's word about the specs. One other thing, if you're thinking about buying any of these watches, know that they are about $1200-$1400 too expensive. https://wannabuyawatch.com/?s=166.003&post_type=product

·To sum it up (as I understandt it)
You are looking for a gold capped Seamaster watch with exact this case as shown above.
The reference 166.003 may either be stainless steel or cold capped but the case will always look like the OP speciem.
It may have a 562 or a 565 movement and different hands.
IMO the reference number is not rare in SS but more rare than other Seamasters. The gold capped ones are clearly in the minority.
1000 USD for the OP watch is much money, if its too much this depends on you.
As pointed out already the watch looks legit and in good overall condition, concerning the exterior (dial, hands, case)
Please ask the seller for a picture of the movment and ask him about its service history.
Than come back to discuss that here.
My 2 cents 😀

I agree, apart possibly from the "good overall condition", as I believe there is some evidence of the gold cap having been polished through...

·I agree with @Passover and @ConElPueblo about the OP. I got sidetracked with questions about the Chrono24 watch and didn't answer the original question.

·ok I understand thank you for the answers, I will go to the watchmaker to remove the watch lid for some pictures, from what I saw when he presented it looks well maintained and had no service done.

Rechecked the case and you are right:
That is absolutely not acceptable for a 1000USD watch!
