··LemaniacAs an relatively active collector it is strange to think that the man who gave me my first Omega almost 40 years ago, my maternal grandfather, passed away a couple of months ago.
The only physical item I have gotten to remember him by is a ref 166.067 Omega Seamaster Automatic.
At some point in time this watch, which I know he wore very often, has had some water damage.
The dial remains original but damaged to a point that I can not accept.
Now, normally this is not a project I would wander into, but with a proper dial I would have a heirloom piece that I would actually like wearing on the odd occasion.
I am looking for a dial with either a silver or golden face, gold indexes with black inserts. Cal 565 implies central seconds and date at 3.
Pictures below are not my watch (unfortunately).
I am guessing/hoping that out there several 565 movements have been used for Watchco SM300s or similar, and that there might just be a dial in decent condition left over somewhere.
