Hello,

I have a quick question - does the absence of the “Swiss Made” marking on the dial of a 1970s Omega Stingray 166.121 mean that the dial has been replaced or restored?

The links can disappear so it’s preferable if you can post photos rather than links.

I didn't want to post someone else's photos. But since I'm looking to buy this Omega model, I have a few concerns.

If you search the internet for Omega 166.121 and Omega 166.0121 you will see many images with Swiss Made on the dial.
You will also see many others without it.

So it seems the answer to your question is "maybe, maybe not".

We would need to see photos in order to help you, and for archival purposes we ask for photos to be posted, so that other people will be able to benefit in the future from the answers from experts.

In any case, welcome to the forum and I hope you see more of your contributions.

Hola,

Tengo una pregunta rápida: ¿la ausencia de la inscripción "Swiss Made" en la esfera de un Omega Stingray 166.121 de la década de 1970 significa que la esfera ha sido reemplazada o restaurada?

Gracias de antemano por su respuesta.

Si. Todas tienen swiss made. Es difícil retocar las letras por eso las quitan cuando son reemplazadas
