Probably 166.070.
It’s always a risk buying dials without cases as it’s hard to be sure what case they came from and many aren’t interchangeable as diameter and clearance to the crystal can be specific
I'm not an Omega expert, but if my experience with vintage Seiko's is anything to go by finding a loose movement with dial and hands, especially in gold tone, usually means it originally came in a gold case that has been melted down. If that's the case finding an original case may prove difficult, but perhaps there are steel or gold cap variants that will work.
Thank you for the input.. I have dated the movement to 1969 and I am sure I can find a case for it.. also the dial/ hands can be replaced to suit the case, just hoping someone can give me some clues as to what to look for.
Finding a case for it, may not be as straightforward as you think. As I said, it’s hard to be sure what the correct case is.
If you’re then scrapping this dial and just using the movement for a case, you have the reverse issue if you’re going to then search for a dial and hands. You’ll likely end up spending significantly more than if you just bought a whole watch from the sta
Fortunatley I have more than a dozen great dials for seamasters and geneve models and many good sets of hands, I also have lots of cases, the issue is getting some guidence as to what is the likely case number, I think its 166.050 but I am not 100% sure which is why I am reaching out. I appreciate all input, thank you.
Don’t hold your breath I was waiting nearly 2 years for a case this is what I just completed with a movement I had.The case you’re looking for is a bit more common tho. At the end of the day it’s all down to the cost you don’t want to out do yourself wasting time and money when it would have been cheaper to just purchase a complete watch to start with. Tho is very rewarding when it pays off , good luck.
