Is this a real omega?

Need help with expert eyes
The dial looks too good, think it’s a redial?

 

[Nephalem]

This is the movement

I would say original dial, but would love to hear other opinions.

Dial looks good to me - didn't check whether the cal. 565 matches with a 166.001

 

[Benbradstock]

Dial looks great, case looks crisp.

 

[miramogge]

Nice dial. I don’t see any warning signs that it’s a redial.

 

[Davidt]

Dial looks fine.

The rule around broken crosshairs indicating a redial kinda go out the window in the late 60's, particularly on 166.002's and similar.

I agree with all above and that thing is a stunner inside and out!

How do you guys know it’s a redial

Well, sometimes the first indication is they look like someone used crayons to do it.

The glass has been replaced with plexiglass. Does this affect the value?

Crystal was plastic from the factory. No worries.

Vintage is so confusing, how come sometimes people want the original glass with the omega logo in the middle and then sometimes it doesn’t affect value?

I would say the crystal is the least of concern as they don't hold up well over time. An Omega crystal adds value. Most are still available as a replacement so don't sweat it.
