Somewhat rare 166.0251 version, with original bracelet.
I think it should have a brushed finish, and have not given up on finding an orange strap for it (or black with orange stitching). Any thoughts?

First Seamaster I have seen with that type of integrated bracelet. I'm not sure how difficult or simple it would be to have a strap made. Mesh would look great as well. I agree about the brushed finish, too. Cheers, Carl

great piece, but it needs the case and bracelet refinished to make it 100%

interesting that there is no water resistance on the dial. do you happen to know what it is? 200m, 300m, 600m or 1000m? keep it on the original bracelet, thats what i would do as thats how it was intended. enjoy Graham.

WR is I believe same as the more common 166.0250 , 120m. And

my research shows that this one did in fact come without this on the dial.

interesting and good to know....

Hi Steve Nice example of a not too often seen watch ! What movement does it use? Agree with the others a satin finish would look better... Please post pics of the back of the watch , does the caseback screw off or do you access the movement via the crysta... 

Some answers, pics, and an improvement

at least I think it is:) Screw back case Bracelet attaches with pin to the case. Is this still considered "integrated"? Movement is 1010, same as the 166.250 version And pics after a trip to the day spa:) ...  

Yes, it's integrated.

Hi steve Thanks for the photos...... Sad to say its integrated case bracelet design. I guess you could cut up straps and try them but I would not as if the strap material failed, eg rip, tear or come apart you could damage your wach as if fals off te wris... 

nice watch brother....

And I don't think it's doable to use any other bracelet. Of course, there are custom strap makers that may do a magic. Beautiful. Cheers, Nilo

and after fews months...

As I said the other day, it just came back from the spa treatment.... it has the hands, cristal, gaskets, crown, date wheel, and also some parts from the movement that had to be changed. the work was very well done by the authorized assistance from Omega ...
