    Hi all,

    I'm looking at a Seamaster 166.010 Automatic Cal. 565 from 1968 and it's priced at $1125 but open to offers. I think it might be a bit high, but it looks pretty nice to me. It matches to the vintage description at https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-seamaster-special-st-166-0010. From the pictures (from screenshots on Chrono24) and the Google translated description (from German); this is been polished but I can't tell if the dial has been touched and if the crown is original (or at least 1968 accurate).

    As always, thanks in advance for your expertise and guidance.
    Eric

    Looks like the watch has been reserved.

    Price is high especially for a non chronometer, shows some polishing.

    Thanks @X350 XJR - that's what I thought too. I need to stop looking at non-chronometers. :)
