Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying this Seamaster 166.0207 with a Roman numeral dial, and I'd like a second opinion from more experienced eyes before committing.



Comparing the previous photo at against two other examples of the same reference I found online, I've noticed a few small differences in details. Aldo the dial looks suspiciously clean and bright white for a watch that should be around 50 years old, with no signs of the aging/patina I'd expect to see.

Here follow another 2 models found online for the comparison


Could anyone with expertise on vintage Seamaster dials tell me if this is consistent with an original, unrestored dial, or if these details are red flags for a reprint/redial?

Thanks in advance for any input!

When I look up the dials that Omega shows for this case, there are 4 shown. Silver, blue, greyish, and white with Romans.

They all have a different configuration to the dials you show. All the examples you show have Omega and automatic under the applied Omega, with Seamaster at the bottom above the 6. The dials Omega shows have only Omega under the applied Omega symbol, and Seamaster/automatic is above the 6.

Note that 2 of the 4 dials they show are still available, including the white with Romans.
