Looks to be a rare dial configuration for the otherwise very common 166.020 / similar reference, I imagine it's more like a US reference KM6292. Gold-capped.

Very nice find! I'd rip that band off, polish the crystal and you have a really stunning find.

Any idea on value?
Firstly, all the value is in the dial. The watch itself is ~$600-800 imo with a more common sunburst dial etc.

The dial is definitely uncommon, and assuming the dial is legitimate, a particularly interested buyer or collector I believe would be comfortable paying over $1.5k, it's really about finding the right buyer.

That seems awfully optimistic to me.......

thank you. maybe we will find a buyer here 😀
FYI ~ you'll need a minimum post count of 200 to list your watch in the sales forum if you were considering that.
