路IMO redial. Omega automatic and swiss made look really wrong. Replacement crown. And the case looks a bit rough to me.

路The hangar-S is right. But in some ways, it's academic. The case is way over-polished and very soft. I would wait for a sharper example to come along.

路What's with the weird shortened seconds hand?

路Is that a 28xx serial? If so, the coathanger 's would be wrong.

路Comparing this to my 166.010, which is perhaps what it is, the dial is right, hour and minute are right, seconds hand has no tail. Movement looks fine. Crown is an acceptable substitute.
The lug edges are a little soft but hard to tell with the light. The bezel is untouched. If the price was right, I'd buy it and have my watchmaker refinish the sides of the case, which would serve to sharpen those lug edges again. Not every watchmaker has that ability. Factory service would end up that way too.
I'd pay as much as perhaps $800. I paid less for mine but there was more wrong with it.

That's what these guys are calling that long, stylized S at the beginning of "Seamaster". Somewhat later it was changed to a more usual shape.
