Hi guys I recently trade this Vintage Seamaster 166.003 cal 565 with quick set still working for a Seiko DX. Seikos cost me $140. Dial got some “patina” crown is Omega marked but not original to the watch. Runs very well though. Did I do ok?

I think you probably mean 166.002. 166.003 cases generally have recessed/semi-hidden crowns and dauphin hands.

Crown isn’t original to the watch. Early ones had the dauphin hands. Latter ones had the stick hands/sword like mine

Patina has crown on me just difficult to capture a nice pic, took me 2 weeks to get that shot right

For me the dial is too far gone, more damaged than patinated

If you are OK with i - no problem! 😀
