Hello guys! I was wondering if someone could explain me why that watch is special? Also estimate would be great. Fell free to ask me questions anytime I’ll try to answer it. I’ll post movement later after I get home from work. Thanks in advance 🙏❤️

Yeah, you should ask that question to the seller because IMO that is a redial and nothing is special about it.

Looks like a nice Speedmaster companion.

Not common but hardly rare either.

And why do you think that is a redial besides the fact you have never seen one?

Because I think the print is not good, the letters do not have serifs, the broken cross hair and the outer minute markers are smudged, also the Omega logo on dial looks more recent than the one on crown. But of course I do not know for sure so I used "IMO" (in my opinion). Love to hear opinion from experts. Please share your knowledge. And it seems to be a good legit one according to experts so please don't mind my wrong comment above smiley face.
I happened to have a broken cross hair dial Seamaster here for example:

It doesn’t help that the OP created two identical threads on this watch.
I agree some of the minute markers and the date window seem suspect but the broken crosshair is correct for this dial. A continuous crosshair would be a red flag.
I also think serifs are present But the picture quality is poor.

The OP needs to provide better pictures of the dial to be sure.

Edit: the new logo dial and old logo crown is also a correct variation on these.

I’ll try today to take out the movement and take some good pictures of dail

I think a low res picture and a scuffed up crystal leads to a distorted image....

My first impression is original dial

Yea I can’t see any major issues either, not super rare just less common as a dial variant on the 166.002

Not so rare. In fact, someone posted another thread on an identical watch. ::facepalm1::

I have the same type of dial. Always looked odd to me, but I saw a few others and concluded it was a weird Gen variation.

I can put watch on Ebay, if someone is interested in this watch. when do I reach to 200 posts… 😁 But I’ll try to earn trust on this forum. I’ll upload better photos of dail and movement later. Respect and big thanks guys who shared their opinions and lose their time for my post ❤️🤝

Selling it here isn't allowed when you have under 200 posts, Ebay is your best bet

Not sure why an empty tag…

Looks legit to me. Interesting dial variation that I personally would not be interested in. It’s not unattractive I just do not wear white dialed watches.
