Re: My Omegas and a few questions *pics* (kinda long) *PIC*

I'm new to the world of Omegas and I have a conundrum on my hands. Any comments would be appreciated. I saw this thread and thought I'd post pics of the watch I recently acquired. I'm perplexed because the caliber number on the movement is 560 which, according to Omega, is around 1964. But, the reference number on the inside of the caseback is 166.020, which supposedly indicates a mid to late 70's watch. Also, please comment on the condition of the watch and what I should do to bring it to tip-top shape. Thanks in advance.
Mike
