    Omani 1665, from about 1973 (if real).

    As I suspected but I'd not seen that dial before.

    Now I know the model Google shows up the fakes.

    Thank you.

    Try Qaboos, rather than Omani.

    I wouldn't assume it's Dodgey Milton. That's just miserable!

    The dial may be strange and difficult to authenticate, but at first glance it looks like a 70's dweller to me.

    Get the back off!

    I think the HE valve looks about right for a 1665?

    I'm not an expert but the plexi has a lot of distortion and the case is much to sharp for an oldie. So imho : fake....

    I take it back....it looks fine apart from the dial, hands, date wheel, bezel, insert, case and case back.


    So the movement could be great!


    But I have my doubts....

    Sounds like most of the parts are wrong then wonder if the badge at the top of the dials correct
