I'm really looking for a Omega 166.0124 in blue! Seems to be a really hard one to find. I've seen a couple online with many replaced parts / in really bad shape, but nothing that seems workable.

If anyone knows anyone, lmk!

Huh, that is a neat reference, I've not seen that before!

I'd probably suggest just making an ebay saved search and biding your time. Alternatively, there are quite a few vintage dealers around that could probably help you find one, though you'll obviously pay a premium. Its a rare enough reference in the 1st place that finding a good one with a blue dial is going to be a heck of a search.


EDIT: An alternative is to BUY one of the 'bad shape' ones and spend the ~$600+ to get it 'restored to like new' by Omega. You'll lose the originality, but it'll be perfect.

Agreed, a saved search on ebay, maybe also on buyee, the best way forward. Good luck!

You can find one......




at my house 😀

They are cool pieces, but agree hard to find.
Good advice from Erich, especially if you are committed to a blue dial.
