    Script looks good to me. Even so, this reference isn't too appealing in my opinion. Have you tried looking at the 166.003 or some sparkle dial variants?

    I'm new at this obviously. when you say reference is not too appealing, you mean? the style, the seller,

    Sorry, I was referring to the model of the watch, 165.002. If you search up these numbers, like 166.020, you'll see different models of vintage Omega watches.

    Well that watch at €949 is probably double, maybe even triple, the price that most people around here would pay. It's very simple, with no outstanding features or design characteristics, TBH a little bland.

    I would go for a Seamaster Deville Ref.166020 for having owned a couple of them.
