It looks like a genuine Omega. I have 3 of them.
Model number 166.250. According to the serial number on the movement mine all date from around 1978/79. They have a 1010 automatic movement.
The hands are correct. The bracelet may have been an option. It looks like an 1162 or 1171 (Original) Omega bracelet to me.
Finally, I don't think it has a display back, I think the seller has removed the (screw on) back to show the movement.
My opinion of the watches... Brilliant. Absolutely bomb proof. I bought the 1st from a good friend who works on Oil Rigs. He never took it off for 3 years & it shows some scratches & dings to prove it. I have dived with mine. The movement is very robust & with a screw down crown, if you look after the seals, this watch will run for years & years.
The only minus point about the watch is the bezel. They are impossible to get. The can break, so look after your bezel.
If you're serious about bidding, write to the seller & ask him/her to tell you what is written on the strap.
Here's a picture from an Omega catalogue, showing the watch on a Mesh bracelet
