    So I'm trying to apply what I done learned on this here site.

    And I got hooked on that blue Geneve Dynamic, although that seller seemed a bit suspect. Then I found this watch:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_500wt_1104Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    1. Located in U.S.
    2. Price not manifestly "ludicrous", to borrow ulackfocus's last verdict.
    3. 100%+ feedback.
    4. Guy not selling a bunch of other watches.

    Of course, when it comes to the watch itself, I got no clue. I see the T's bracketing "swiss made", and the condition appears uniform, though super-clean for that age.

    What do you think?

    Interesting. The case looks like a 166.0087 or 166.0110, but they housed the caliber 1002 (date only). The seller has correctly identified the caliber as a 752 ( since there is no break between the day & date windows so those two references are out. That dial is similar but not identical to the one on the 166.0131 Seamaster Cosmic, but that was powered by a 1022 so it would have a break between the day & date. The lady's watch 566.0039 has the same configuration for the chapter ring and markers so this must be the men's version. Wish I could find it easily, but it might just take time sorting through the database. Go here:

    http://www.omegawatches.com/spirit/history/vintage-omegas/vintage-watches-database

    and enter "166.*" in the box and sift through the possibilities.

    It looks like it's an authentic case, dial, and hands so that's a start towards confirming it. That price is the opening bid, which isn't terrible if nobody else gets in on the fun. I'd say $400 - $450 (if we can confirm it's not a franken) is a better price given that it will need a service.
