Omega Seamaster 166.0209 - original parts?

Hi, just wanted to say this is an amazing forum!

I recently bought a Seamaster 166.0209 from a dealer in my country - first purchase of a vintage watch. While I did try to read up a bit, compare photos and all, would love to get an opinion from the experts here on whether this was a good buy? This cost me somewhere around $650. In my assessment - the dial looks to be original, there is the Omega stamp on the crystal (can't capture it in photos), the case may be slightly over-polished though, and the bracelet is not the right kind for sure.



Hoping to venture deeper into the vintage watch hobby, so would appreciate some insight on whether this was a good start, thanks!

Hi and welcome on board!

Not easy to judge the case from this pictures

Price is on the high side for sure

This one seems to have the same braclet:

Is it a 1193 with 725 endlinks?

Yep I also think that bracelet might belong on the watch. I had it's twin a few years back.

If you like what you got, be happy and enjoy. As noted above, your cost is within the range that these often go for on c24/ebay. I love my 166.032.
