·For sale Omega Seamaster 145.006-66
This reference 145.006/016 has 15 variations if my memory serves me correctly.
145.006 was used from 1966-1968.
145.016 1968+ used caliber 861.
Currently, there are few of these 66s for sale on C24, so this is not a rare watch.
The previous owner told me that the watch was bought from Les Ambassadeurs boutique in Geneva around 1968. And was also serviced by the same Les Ambassadeurs boutique.
I have good seller's (and buyer's) feedback on OF:

FACTS
- Reference 145.006-66
- Movement serial number is 24M, so it's correct
- Omega 321 caliber
- 38mm in diameter (without crown)
- 20mm lugs
- Correct parts AFAIK
- I can't say 100% that the orange seconds hand is the correct length or perhaps the tip is broken. I have seen longer hand on some of these watches.
- Crystal has an Omega logo
- Has been polished before and has lost some of the sharpness on the edges
- Case still has circular brushing visible, doesn't have any dents
- The lume is original I think, looks greenish, has separated from a couple of hour indexes
- Overall creamy patina on Tachy track
- Extra original case back (was planning to make a display back)
STRAP
Like-new period correct black leather original Omega strap with the buckle. I've not worn the strap.
HOW DOES IT RUN
I don't know much about the previous service history, but I've worn this watch for a year and it works very well. Haven't timed the precision, but I think the last time I checked was within +/- 15 sec/day.
Chronograph resets perfectly even after it's been running for hours.
There's no "cal 321 hour register creep" with this movement.
PRICE: 3400 €
Buyer pays any Paypal or bank transfer fees.
SHIPPING
The watch is located in Estonia, EU.
Shipping price and time depend on your location.
Express shipping is ca 100€: 2-3 days.
DPD Europe: 35€ - 1 week normally
Standard shipping worldwide: 25€ - 2+ weeks normally
Full insurance via Secursus is 25€.

When I took the photographs, I tried to capture the colors as realistic as possible.
As you can see this watch is a real strap monster. Looks awesome on everything.
