    Hi, I am trying to identify this De Ville, blu dial, automatic. I can not open it, closure is too tough. I should bring it to my watchmaker...Searching the web I have seen some similarities (dial) with ref.166.053, but the case is different, also the caseback. It is worth to be serviced or could be it a franken?
    Thanks! IMG_20230115_223739.jpg IMG_20230115_223814.jpg

    166.053 refers directly to the case, not the dial so it can’t be that.

    It looks like a 168.032 with a transplanted (incorrect) dial.

    Thanks
    166.053 was my assumption, seeing the dial. Anyway you are confirming my doubt, it has been assembled.
