    SOLD ($595 OBRO) I have an Omega Seamaster Day Date with a caliber 751 automatic chronometer, movement. Some features of this model are as follows:

    Model: Seamaster 168.023 / 166.032: the inner side of the caseback shows both reference numbers; 166.032 is the non chronometer model (caliber 752) while 168.023 has the caliber 751 chronometer movement. Based on the fact the sparkle dial does not says chronometer on its wording either the watch was originally a 166.032 which got an upgraded caliber 751 movement or a 168.023 chronometer model which got a non chronometer replacement dial.

    Size: Approximately 36.5 MM.
    Case: Stainless steel, approximately 42 MM lug to lug. The case has been brushed / polished in the past and has a few marks but in good conditions for a 50 year old watch.
    Dial: Silver sparkle.
    Crystal: New plexiglass.
    Serial number: 30 million (about 1969 production).
    Movement: Omega in house chronometer caliber 751, 24 jewels, 19,200 beat rate, 49 degrees lift angle, date and day functions; quickset for date. Just serviced; movement running at +2 SPD with an amplitude of 263 and a beat error of 5.5 ms.
    Bracelet: Aftermarket 19 MM brown band with silver buckle.

    Notes:

    1-Price listed is NET and includes USPS first class mail shipping in the United States only (insured and signature confirmation). Payment by bank wire only; watch set would ship upon clearance of payment in my bank.
    2- Myself and the watch are located in Puerto Rico (USA), so no import fees to the USA mainland.
    3- I’m not a watch dealer or store, so no returns unless not genuine Omega or not significantly as described.
    4- I have several transactions here plus over 150 transactions at Watchuseek (WUS) plus more at The Rolex Forums (TRF) and "The Good Guys", so feel free to check them out. (all positive) Also 100% positive feedback in over 1,500 transactions on Ebay under the same user name.
    5- NO TRADES; low ball offers will be politely ignored.
    6- Additional references available upon request.

    Below you will find some pictures of the watch set (excuse dust and fingerprints). If you have any questions or want to see more pictures (or a high definition video, would need a texting or whatsapp number to send it), can be reach by regular text or whatsapp at 787 248 6267.

    Thanks for looking! :)

    Please stop bumping twice in one day, it’s once per person per day

    To clarify, a “day” is a full 24 hours in your time zone.

    The new day for bumping purposes does not start at midnight.

    I am surprised no one has already written this:

    A 168.023 has a cal 751 and has "Chronometer Officially Certified" on the dial.
    A 166.032 has a cal 752 and the dial of the above shown version.

    So... the watch in question has either had its dial or movement changed at some time.

    None of the reference numbers has hands like this watch. That is for certain.

    This is a forum for enthusiasts. Not mentioning the above might lead to a very disappointed buyer.

    Am certainly not an expert in them, it was like that few years ago when bought it. The caseback has both reference numbers in the inner side (168.023 and 166.032) so could had been originally either model and like you said got the dial / hands / movement swap over time. Have revised the title and description to reflect the fact may in fact be a 166.032 with an upgraded caliber 751 movement or a 168.023 with a replaced dial. I have seen different hands on 168.023 / 166.032 so have no idea about the “correct” hands for these models. Keep in mind this is over 50 years old.

    You bumped multiple listings in one day again. Here is a section of the rules that two mods above were referring to regarding bumping.
