dials looks original, maybe polished case , check dial at 7: corrosion??? -- edit: probably shadows left side (ask seller) --
lets wait for other opinions.

A nice model 👍 with a fine bracelet.

The photos are not adequate to judge. On this model, I usually look for a clean dial, intact vertical brushing on the sides, and a caseback that hasn't been too badly polished.

Yes I asked seller to send a better pictures in a daylight . Not sure if it’s over polished or it’s just a light

What’s the asking price?
It’s around 1100€ with taxes . Not the lowest I guess

When looking at prices, you will probably find that 168.024 examples usually sell for a little more than 166.010.

as @Dan S said: you must check the side of the case and compare to the others (at C24 e.g. or www)

No, but not terrible if it’s in good condition and serviced. Personally, I prefer the .009 to the .010.

Yes I know the 024 is chronometer but I don’t really care that much . I just want to find good example

009 is smaller and I already have seamaster 600

Yes, but you can find the 166.009 with arrowhead markers which is quite attractive. They are rare and difficult to find, but they are out there. Here’s mine:

Here is another which is a candidate and with this lighting you can see the case a bit better . After those pictures I’m really loaded

Is the crown on the 4-liner original?
Interestingly, it is the crown that I usually see on the 168.024, but I couldn't say for sure.
