    Hello all. I've been looking for a nice original black dialed Seamaster for a while now and would like opinions on this one. The font and serifs look correct to me but the crosshairs look off, especially through the applied Omega symbol. The Swiss Made without T or T's is concerning too. I've owned a couple ref 166.020 before and this looks like a close brother, perhaps even the same. The crown looks correct to me. Opinions greatly appreciated! Best regards.

    I've never seen an original Seamaster De Ville black dial with crosshairs. This one is a redial for sure. The crosshairs are way off. Black dial should not have black inserts on hour markers - this indicates original dial was not black. Correct hands would have black inserts like markers - current hands are wrong. Broken/short second hand. Probably not cheap.
