Hello there folks !

Was looking at this offer.
Does this watch looks genuine ? Seller said watch was serviced during August 2019 by COSYNS (Brussels) and he will join bill or "service certificate".
But for now there isn't any proof (opened case or paper) about authenticity.

Other strange thing, he offers straps with watch (to apologize about "delay")

Any ideas ?

Thank you 😉

Welcome, Scrouch. You’ll get more feedback with closeups of the watch. There’s little to go on here. As well, links to sites like eBay make for more effort from the experts whose experience and advise you seek. Post the full images instead.

And going forward, the time to ask is before you buy. Folks here offer their expertise to facilitate a positive purchasing experience by new enthusiasts. This is why making it simple to gauge the watch in question is essential.

In the meantime you’ll want to read this sage bit of advice:

Thanks ! You're right !
I corrected post adding photos.

I know that we have to ask before buying but its "law of the jungle" on Internet 😉
1st to come, 1st served !

Others are better equipped than I am to give you expert input on this watch but my view is:
* that the hands are for a chronostop or a dynamic but incorrect for your 166.041,
* the lume has been horribly misapplied to the dial, which leads me to speculate
* that the dial is a redial.
* the case, watchback, crown and crystal look okay.

It would have been good to see the movement and serial number. Personally, I’m a fan of the 565 movement.

IMO everything is OK.

Hands are correct for this blue dial version of this reference, lume is fine, some discoloration around the lume on these blue dials is quite common.

Overall it appears to be in nice original condition.

Thanks !
I was a bit suspicious for some reasons too (I'm totally new in Omega watches) and without photos of movement and serial I was a little bit "anxious".
Just wait and see.

Fact is that there isn't any Omega official reseller close to my location so no one will be able to certificate watch.

At last I go straight for that watch cause blue dial is definitely much more beautiful than black one and that vintage style with some sporty touch (orange hand) is gorgeous ...
