·Case back looks very nice. Is that a sparkle dial?
There are a few similar 166.067 in Japan on eBay now e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284530541299?epid=26048422478&]

·$520 including the bracelet is a no-brainer. 36mm Omega with a great automatic movement from their golden age?

Bracelet looks a classic omega bor 1036/11 to me, added later and at least 10 years older.
Correct bracelet for this reference is 1037/614.

·I think you should shop around unless you're in Japan for a short duration, what's the story there? I'm curious, there's also a thread here about a member exploring watch shops in Japan, it was a beautiful journey
I think it was this: https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-travels-to-japan-and-my-search-for-nina.54166/

There's also this 166.010 which would be my preference:

·Fwiw, a 166.010 is a classic seamaster icon.

·So I’ve been trying to go over everything about this particular watch before I go back to possibly buy it tomorrow and one thing keeps bothering me. As I understand it the 11 end links, though not correct to the case, should fit but there is a noticeable gap between the end links and lugs. Upon closer examination of the pics I noticed what looked to me like misshapen lugs. Am I crazy or do they look misshapen? The right side lug looks like it’s been messed with and doesn’t look right to me. It could just be the picture I’m not sure. Let me know what you think.

·At this point, as you are able to handle the watch in person, I’d do my final due diligence with the watch in hand, rather than pouring over photos where the angle/light etc may cloud the details.

·I can’t see anything wrong with the lug from that picture. Just looks like the end link is sat at a slight angle.

·So I bought the watch today. Turns out that the bracelet is in fact a 1036 bracelet with 11 end links of course. The crystal IS an Omega crystal, and I’m positive the movement is a cal. 565(the date wheel advances when I pull the crown). Everything seems to check out and I think the watch looks great! Next step is to have it serviced and maybe the crystal replaced. Thanks to everyone for helping me make an informed decision. I really appreciate the help and advice you provided. BTW, I’m looking to sell the bracelet or trade it for a 1037/614 if anyone is interested.
