Incoming. Weirdest dress watch ever

Early Omega Ploprof I believe a mark I or II. Not the prettiest piece ever created but it sure is interesting. This one has original movement, bezel and dial and bracelet. Service hands and service red pusher.

Yes haha I believe it weighs 50% more than the 1665 Rolex from the time period. Also cost 2x as much as the Sea Dweller at the time they were sold new.

After further research it does appear to be a Mark I based on the bezel and dial

Probably a 166.077. A highly collectible piece. Congratulations.

Looks like something the original James Bond would wear. Be careful for that red button. ;)
