Hi all!

This is my first post here, but I have been an observer for quite a while. I own this 166.039, which I fell in love with in my early days of collecting. It has been a sleeper for a while now and I have been wondering if I ought to sell it. But before I do so I would like to know if this is a franken dial. Can you help me out? Is this the real deal?

Can't be 100% sure, but I was able to find a manual wind version with the same markers and layout:

Hope this helps,

Thanks, @gatorcpa. I have seen a couple of these, with slightly different indexes:

That is why I have been wondering, but the watch in your link seems pretty legit.

Interesting that the case fits both the manual and automatic versions of this watch:

Wow! I have never seen that many reference numbers stamped on a case back before 😀

Thats why they had to make the case oval!

It is most definitely legit. For the GD’s for gentlemen, Omega had well over 50 different color dials combinations. As well as 3 different types within each color combination. Think for example; no date, date, & day/date. For the lady models, there were over 100 in color combinations.

Thanks for great information, @CjJEEP!
