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

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.

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.
