·Hi FYPM,
Thank you for sharing this piece. In my opinion, at a glance, the dial lume looks a little too yellow to be patinated.
Not sure about the metal seconds hand. But I think they should be a white composite?
Additionally, the case and case back etching look really sharp to be a genuine example of an Omega Seamaster 300 166.024, to be dated back to 1966/67.
Here is my piece for reference. It is a WatchCo build by the way.
That said, to those more well-versed in appraising. Please correct me if I am wrong on my appraisal.
Thank you.

·What is this? Is it an optical effect?
The hands are likely to be luminova, not tritium.
Additional photos of the inside and crown would be helpful

·I'm not sure anything is authentic. Is this being sold as a legit 166.024? Where is it listed?

·Would definatley stay away from this one:
Date window is not centered and the corners are angular, all other examples here have rounded corners
https://www.omegaseamaster300.com/
Bezel is fake IMO font is too fat and blurred; at least the bezel is service
Inner lug ends don't look like they should

·New generation of fakes?
I don’t like the dial and hands.
Font and lume just look off to me.
