Kindly asking for ID and verdict

Hi fellow members. Finally I'm part of the family after eyeing various models over the years. Just bought this one a bit fast though without really researching it. I kindly turn to the experts here for help.
Can someone tell based on the pictures which model/models it may be and when the watch is from? There is a quick set for the date when changing the crown between positions if this is useful information. There is no seahorse on the back, is this common for originals? Can anyone see any obvious non-original stuff? I don't see an omega mark on the glass, the strap is obviously not original. The dial maybe a bit nice for the age, redial?

Anyways I'm happy for the watch! Thanks in advance

Regards Markus

Possible 14kt gold bezel and lugs. This will be stamped between the lugs.

maybe a caliber 611 or 613 or any other 61x caliber with date

Looks like front opener perhaps 166.020 ?
Here’s one in SS they usually have strong Seamonster on Caseback as shown. Maybe yours is service Caseback?

Thank you for the reply. This one is automatic, mine is manual. Does that make a difference?

The watch looks legit to me. If it's important to you to know the reference and caliber, have a watchmaker remove the movement from the case and you will be able to take photos of the numbers for your records.

Adding to previous post. Could also be a presentation case model. A case designed for engraving on the back for 25 Years Service for example

Thanks for commenting. It's mostly for fun to have the info, and I would like to know if any one with a good eye could see things that would make it a Frankenstein with dial, hands etc. But good to know that it looks good to you!

Yeha I read about this and it might just be the case (no pun intended ) Thanks for helping out

From extensive Google research I somehow stumbled upon an ad with my watch from another website than the one I bought it from, but here the seller had pictures of the case back and movement. I can now make out the following:

Reference number: 136.020
Serial number: 327.....
Movement: 613

Nicely called from you guys and thank you very much for helping out. Any final notes on things that stands out as not good with the newly found information? Thanks and merry Christmas
Regards
