    Hi everyone,
    i have a nice Stingray Cobra, from 1972, cal 1480, ref 166.121, original 1168 Omega bracelet.
    A friend of mine has for sale a similar watch, haven' t opened it yet, I assume all OK inside, but with ROMAN NUMERALS dial, which I have never seen.
    SInce I am a lover of roman numerals, he offered to exchange the dial (and perhaps even the case/movement if OK), what do you think ? I would keep the bracelet and the crown (which on mine is the original, the other is not) of course.
    Is the Stingray Roman Numerals dial OK, since I never seen it and can' t find any images on the web I am asking an opinion ?
    Before eventually doing it I would of course open it, check it out etc.
    Thanks in advance, Regards

    I think the terrible lettering on the display fits the terrible re-dail.

    Forgive my blatant comment. Your watch looks cool as is. A child of it's time.
