I just picked up this Omega 165.002 and was wondering if anyone can tell me about it. For the price I paid I figure it's worth the risk.

Hello and welcome here. It's a Model that was popular in the 60s and has a great Movement with the Cal.552

Here some informations about this Model from Omega themself

If you want to check the age of the Watch you can compare the serial number with the Link

The Watch will need a service if you intend to wear it regularly. There is rust on some parts.

I won't talk about the dial. But I don't like how the undersides of the lugs look like. It appears some work was done, the result looks asymmetric to me and the gold plating is damaged.

How much did you pay for it?
