As part of a recent purchase, I received what was described as an unworn genuine Omega stainless steel bracelet. From the only photo (top view) i saw prior to purchasing the package, it most closely resembled the bracelet fourth from the top in the 1171 bracelet section of the “Collector’s Guide) https://www.omegaseamaster300.com/

Second hand is completely wrong
351 or 354 movement.

Thanks.

Is there a diiference between the midcase of an omega 165.024 and a 166.024?
Thanks.
