Welcome to TRF!

Mike's the real vintage expert here and can give you a very detailed explanation.

To give you a start, though, you could visit this site:

www.doubleredseadweller.com

This article might be of interest, too.

Click this link to see how the "Singer" name should look like.

Looking at the dials above, the patination seems too exaggerated, imho. And I would be especially wary about a "Comex" dial since they are often counterfeited.

Well, I would share your concerns. The COMEX fraternity is a close knit one and necessarily keeps a lot of information close to the vest. I am not a member of that group and would defer to those that are.
The link given is a good place to start. Here's another with great shots of 1665s

If Mike, John and Peter state that those dials are fake, those dials are fake.

610m Versus 600m

It looks like one dial has 600m and the other 610m?
Why the difference?

Here is one on Ebay 180227147884. Check the sellers other auctions he has a Sea-Dweller also. Just be careful I don't think they look real, but I'm in no way an expert.

Original 1665 Comex dials are 600m, service replacements are 610m.

However ordinary 1665 dials are printed 610m.

Sorry, I must expand, I was commenting only on the Comex dial.

The NON Comex 1665 dial appears to be genuine. But if from the same seller, I would double check it.
