Looks to be a rare dial configuration for the otherwise very common 166.020 / similar reference, I imagine it's more like a US reference KM6292. Gold-capped.

Very nice find! I'd rip that band off, polish the crystal and you have a really stunning find.

Any idea on value?
Firstly, all the value is in the dial. The watch itself is ~$600-800 imo with a more common sunburst dial etc.

The dial is definitely uncommon, and assuming the dial is legitimate, a particularly interested buyer or collector I believe would be comfortable paying over $1.5k, it's really about finding the right buyer.

That seems awfully optimistic to me.......

thank you. maybe we will find a buyer here 😀
FYI ~ you'll need a minimum post count of 200 to list your watch in the sales forum if you were considering that.

Case looks slightly fatter than the regular 166.020 ref or it just might be the picture angle, hands as well look a bit bigger what you usually get on the model, still if its similar or same ref the dial is super uncommon, should be sorted w new strap, polished crystal and a service, realistic selling price 1200 - 1500 EUR, in the condition it is in now i'd assume significantly less unless someone has been on the hunt specifically for this exact model.
