FS: Omega Ploprof 166.077 true MK1

Here is for sale a vintage omega ploprof Mk1 ref 166.077.
The mk1 was developed with Cousteau for Comex!
As these watches were used by divers, most of the 1st series have bad dials, which got darker and darker with time, with erased tritium or blisters due to water, and then refurbished later dials and hands.

Here it as an almost perfect untouched mk1 dial! I think one of the Best on the net right now... The creamy patina is just beautiful. Very luminous dark blue color, no blister, original tritium markers still slightly glowing and matching perfectly the Mk1 hands! These are unchanged and turned into yellow color.

The case is in great condition, strong and sharped, with usual wearing signs. To mention, there's a small 1mm dings up the crown but luckily slightly visible as it's only visible on side.

When I got the watch it had an mk2 bezel. Two years of searches and a fortune spent later, I found a beautiful mk1 bezel matching the dial and hands.
The bezel blocking system works fine as the mechanism and red pusher were changed with omega parts. It was the only thing which had a problem. I will let the original pusher which is still in good shape but as a new one came in the service package, my watchmaker choose the new one...

The watch keeps good time and last big service is unknown. As it was working good just the waterproof seals were changed by my watchmaker.
It comes with 2 bands: a leather one and an original NOS mesh band ref 1266/237 still unpacked!
