    Offering for sale an excellent 1960’s Seamaster 120 reference 166.027 with beautiful dial, lightly faded bezel and fully serviced cal 565.
    This is a 100% genuine and original example, not to be confused with the many fakes and Frankens currently on the market.
    Only selling this one as I have two of this reference.

    Terms
    Price
    - £2550 reduced to £2150 GBP net to me.
    (Approx $2675)
    Payment via bank transfer or Wise. PayPal ok for established members.
    Shipping - UK included, worldwide to be discussed.
    Watch is located in UK. Customs/duty is responsibility of buyer.
    Returns not accepted.

    Dial
    Factory original matte black dial with applied Omega logo and white text. Not restored, refinished or relumed.
    The original tritium lume plots have aged to a wonderful yellow hue.
    In excellent overall condition with correct and matching hands.

    Case
    Original stainless steel case, reference 166.027.
    The case is nice and thick and retains its edges and facets but it does show age related surface wear and scratches to the case back. No damage or corrosion.
    Correct and original vintage Omega crown.
    Screw down caseback with Seamonster.
    Omega signed crystal.

    Bezel
    Correct and original black bezel. Faded to lovely graphite grey shade. Cleaned at recent service to rotates as it should.
    Some wear/smoothing to the outer edges and the pip is missing.

    Movement
    Omega caliber 565 automatic movement with date.
    25m serial dating to approximately 1967.
    I intended on keeping this watch so it’s been to the spa for the works including;
    Full service
    New barrel bush
    New barrel
    New automatic axle kit
    As expected given the recent service, all functions work correctly and timekeeping is excellent at around +5 secs/day on my wrist.

    Strap/bracelet
    Comes with generic black strap and buckle.

    Overall this is a great example of the SM120. Very attractive with perfect matte black dial, beautiful lume and slightly faded grey bezel. It’s been fully serviced so operating perfectly and should give years of reliable use.

    I’m confident this is the best price:quality ratio of any SM120 on the market right now.

    Congrats to buyer and seller. If I didn't already have one (got it also from here) this thread wouldn't have gotten that long.
