Omega Seamaster 165.024 **help**

I recently purchased this watch from the owner’s daughter (his name is inscribed in the watch and I have his military picture with his name) and I have a few questions as I am not an expert as everything on the watch is 1966 and then the serial is 28m which seems to be 1969.

*the serial is 28m - I suppose it’s a 1969
*The band and end links are 1506/16 - 1964-1966
*Pencil hands - these don’t match 1969 but the patina is consistent with watch and it has been in a safe for over 20 years.
*1966 bold font bezel with wide triangle
*movement 550 which I assume means it’s not 552 for import reasons
*attached some pictures if anyone has any feedback or valuation idea.
thank you

thank you for your kind post. My high school graduation present 15 years ago was a tag Heuer I wanted since I was 12 years old and it was stolen my freshman year of college. Won’t ever forget that! Made me extra careful now with my vintage pieces.

The watch looks great - my guess would be that the movement was replaced at a later date

All looks good to me for a early 165024, except for the movement serial number that is way too late for everything else on the watch. It might have been replaced in a service some time in its life, and i see the rotor is probably also not original to the movement. Other than that, dial, bezel, case, hands, all look good for a trapezoid and candlestick handed HF case 1965-1966 SM300 with push in crown. The difference in the color of the hands and dial is normal, so i would go with fully original in my opinion base on those quite bad pictures to assess from.
