Hello everyone,
I would love to hear your honest thoughts and evaluation on my current Omega collection. Here are the details of my three pieces:
1. Vintage Seamaster
  • Reference No: ST166.0067
  • Caliber: 565
  • Serial No: 31480834
  • Bracelet/End Links: ST1037 / 614
2. Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 42MM
  • Reference No: 210.90.42.20.01.001 (No Time To Die edition)
3. Speedmaster "Silver Snoopy Award" 50th Anniversary 42MM
  • Reference No: 310.32.42.50.02.001
  • Note: This is a rare "Button Suit" error dial variant manufactured in the first half of 2025. I have also swapped the original strap for the current-generation Moonwatch stainless steel bracelet.
Please let me know what you think about this trio, the vintage correctness of the Seamaster, and especially the Snoopy error dial with the modern steel bracelet modification!
Thank you!

Welcome, nice collection. I love your description of the snoopy-This is a rare "Button Suit" error dial variant. Mine has a very faint zipper line and no line on the foot also. I also am fine with production variations.

Hello Omega Forums community,
I would like to hear your objective perspectives on the specific details of these two Omega models.
1. Seamaster 166.067 (Vintage)
This watch was originally bought by my grandfather for my father, and it was passed down to me. I have been using it since I was 26. They both worked very hard. I have heard that it is rare for this specific model to have survived with its original bracelet intact. What are your thoughts on this?
2. Speedmaster "Silver Snoopy Award" 50th Anniversary (310.32.42.50.02.001)
I managed to buy one at retail. However, I noticed the mid-production dial change and realized I wanted the rare "Button Suit" (4-button) error dial from the batch. So, I sold my retail piece and purchased a 4-button error dial on the secondary market.
Additionally, I custom-fitted it with the modern OMEGA steel bracelet (020Z017493 with the adjustable clasp) from the Cal.3861 sapphire model to give it a luxury sports feel.
I would love to hear your objective thoughts on these details, especially the rarity of the 166.067 with its original bracelet, the Snoopy error-dial, and the 020Z017493 bracelet swap.
Thank you for your insights.

Hi everyone,
Following up on my previous post, I wanted to share some additional, closer photos of my Seamaster Ref. 166.0067.
As you can see, this particular piece features a beautiful Silver Sparkle Dial.
The fine, textured graining on the silver surface is absolutely incredible, especially when it catches the light. The way it pairs with the sharp lines of the cushion case and the original 1037/614 bracelet gives it such a clean, yet distinctive 1970s character.
I’m really proud to have this matching example in my collection. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
Best regards,

Also, just for fun, I wanted to share a photo of my Omega Snoopy dial as well!
The details on this one are always a joy to look at. I thought the community here might appreciate a close-up shot of this special piece alongside my Seamaster.
Hope you enjoy it!

Quick update regarding the 007 Edition:
I have been using this watch for 5 years now as my daily companion. Over this time, I have noticed that the aluminum bezel and the Grade 2 Titanium case have gradually aged, losing their initial sheen and developing a beautiful, deep matte texture.
It has evolved from a standard factory product into a true, rugged tool watch that has completely naturally blended with my daily life.

I had hoped to engage in deep, substantive discussions and hear insightful opinions regarding these specific details. However, seeing the complete lack of such meaningful dialogue, I am deeply disappointed by this specialized platform. Does a gathering like this even have a purpose? It seems to be nothing more than a meaningless community driven solely by people seeking validation from others.

Awwww you poor little Labrador, I’m deeply sorry you didn’t get the attention that you were seeking, however if you send ChatGPT pictures of your watches this may crave your attention seeking needs, unless you are ai like that message lol.
Ps they are some nice watches

ST 166.0067: I'd suggest this is perhaps best understood not as simply a watch, but as Omega's quietly devastating meditation on the bourgeois transition from mid-century horological restraint to the increasingly assertive wrist architecture of the 1970s; the 1037/614 pairing only deepens the dialectic.

NTTD Seamaster: The titanium construction and deliberately anachronistic chromatic vocabulary create a fascinating tension between contemporary technical supremacy and the manufactured nostalgia of a tool watch designed to evoke a military past it never actually experienced.

Daily driver? That's what she said.
Why walk into Whole Foods when you can parkour?
Say my name.

Silver Snoopy "Button Suit": The so-called Button Suit dial invites the collector to confront the uncomfortable boundary between manufacturing variance and rarity itself: at what point does an industrial inconsistency cease being a defect and become, through collective desire and taxonomy, horological royalty?

Touché. Now that is the kind of parkour I was waiting for. You didn’t just say your name; you single-handedly saved the purpose of this sub.
Your take on the NTTD’s manufactured nostalgia is spot on—it’s the perfect elite toy for a desk-diver's existential dread. Consider my disappointment officially paused.

Woof. Guilty as charged. But hey, if you keep tossing me high-quality bones like that previous reply, this Labrador will keep fetching.
Glad you like the watches. Cheers for keeping the dialogue alive.

To be completely honest with you guys, you caught me. I don’t speak English fluently, so I’ve been using AI to translate my deep thoughts into these posts because I wanted to test the intellectual depth of this community. And wow, you guys delivered.
Now that the ice is broken, I want to ask for your genuine expertise. I already know the standard textbook facts: that my grandfather's ST 166.0067 runs on the legendary Cal. 565 with the 1037/614 combo, that the NTTD is a titanium masterpiece, and that my early 2025 Silver Snoopy has the "Button Suit" error on a Moonwatch bracelet.
What I am truly looking for—and what I cannot find in standard articles or Japanese watch media—is the unwritten knowledge that only exists in deep forums like this.
I want to know the things I don't know. What are the specific production anomalies, hidden historical links, or shifting market dynamics surrounding these three pieces from a serious global collector's perspective? How does the global community truly view the long-term historical and financial trajectory of an error dial like this Snoopy or a vintage reference like this Seamaster?

Please share your unvarnished, deep horological wisdom with a non-native collector who genuinely wants to learn from the best.

I don't consider the Snoopy dials to be "errors", just production variances. The one I got in 2025 HAS a zipper, it's just faint, and no foot line. But it's not washed out as some have said, the paint is sharply edged and you can see all of the detail. I'm fine with it. And have been offered more than I paid for it more than once.

I view the ST 166.0067 as a piece from the golden era before the Quartz Crisis, a time when watchmaking was driven by pure, uncompromising integrity. Similarly, with both my NTTD and the Silver Snoopy, I can genuinely feel Omega’s brand spirit and pride—creating timepieces where the passion for craftsmanship clearly overrides the sheer pursuit of profit margins.
