Opinion on a supposed Franken

FrOmegafan · Jul 10, 2017

Hi from France everybody
I grabbed this watch for 80€ in a backyard sale.
Obviously it is a franken, the case looks like a Geneve model, the case back is completely wrong and the crown (even if it's an Omega) does not suit the case etc.
But I like it anyway... It works pretty well even if one screw of a bridge is preventing the rotor from going round (I need to visit my favorite watchmaker )
May I ask for comments from you guys?
Cheers

Hands are incorrect and dial refinished, buy for 80€, you did just fine.

Ok many thanks 😀
The case back states a gold plated watch!
The ref. 166.0169 stands for an omega geneve day/date with a 1022 movement.
At least this part is not the right one🤔
What additional details would be helpful?

By the way I also own a ´71 speedmaster but unfortunately with a service dial (luminova). The movement is my avatar😁
I wear also a 1997 Midsize SM 300 pro👍
Thank you again
JJ
