Was it a major loss of opportunity re an Omega ref. 166.091?

They are the wrong hands for the reference... which leads me to think that based off the description, you had a lucky escape.

If the seller is prepared to lie about something as obvious as wrong hands, and claim the watch is NOS, then he's clearly less than trustworthy.

Thank you so much. I am feeling much better now!

But they are Hands that many dive watches were modded with in the day.
Actually even into the 2000s most divers are modded to these hands

Over 50% of these you will notice the same mod.

True - but there's no way you can call it legitimately NOS and it have PloProf hands on... another Italian dealer building watches and making up stories.
