    I came across an ad for this type of watch but unlike most of the models on the internet or Omega database this one has an arabic dial.

    I've done some searches and only came across 2 or 3 such watches so far and it checks out, at first glance.

    This pic is off the net as I'm unable to post the original one but the dial and all the other specs are identical to everything that I've found so far so what's the deal with this. Is it some sort of an alternate reference ?

    The reference is 166.0163 but everywhere you look you'll just find the non-arabic "standard" dial.

    I did think that it might be some sort of a redial or forgery but I've already found a few identical watches and it seems legit. Any thoughts ?

    Actually these are breguet numerals.

    We've seen similar dials discussed previously here on the forum and the general consensus particularly when combined with this type of hands is that this is a genuine variation.
