Hi OF, I recently acquired this watch on bracelet and would like to share it with the community. This is the best example I have ever seen for this reference. The world of vintage Omega is awesome!

Im looking for the vintage seamaster myself (but no date, 3,6,9 dial) - yet this looks wonderful!!!

They came with cyclops!? I had no idea!

I've edited my original post with updated photos of the watch. Is this a decent 166.24 example?

Case looks a bit soft but the dial and bezel look wonderful. Obviously the bracelet is incorrect and we can’t comment on the movement or serial.

Has the case really been polished? That’s a bummer. It looked unpolished to me, but I’m no expert.

Almost certainly yes but the pictures aren’t very good. Can you post some in natural light rather than the harsh ‘studio’ lighting

I don’t have it in my hands yet, but when it arrives, I surely will take better photos. I am sourcing a 1039 bracelet for it. The endlinks appear to be the correct 516.

That’s a huge bonus as the 516 Endlinks are much harder to find than the bracelet alone
