Is this seamaster authentic?

I recently saw this listing of a vintage omega seamaster 166.002 cal 562 24 from the 1960s. First of all I was hoping to get some of your guys's opinion seeing as I bet some of you guys are far better at distinguishing authenticity than me. Secondly I would like to know if vintage seamasters have ever been produced with a mother of pearl dial as this listing claims the watch has. Big thanks in advance!

Ps. I know the leather strap is aftermarket and this I don't mind, I will be replacing it.

It would be nice to have a good straight on pic instead of all at the same angle. It looks ok, but a close up of automatic would be nice. The dial is a silver Starburst effect which is common.

Noted, I’ll ask him to provide a picture of it. He is a watchmaker so I suppose he isn’t the best at taking pictures.

As above, it’s perfectly genuine but ‘mother of pearl’ dial is nonsense. It’s the big standard silver sunburst.
