I was using Edge Detection.
I think it's either x007 or x307, and at a guess I'd say the first digit is a 1.
this...I dunno if I just can't unsee it after reading your post but I'm 999% sure the last three numbers on the line above are 999

IIRC he did a video on these awhile back - they have 2 significant weaknesses via the groove around the numbers and to shims.

Most numbered pad locks can be picked easily, pull the locking bar and keep pressure on it then start turning the dials starting at one end, you will feel the locking bar lift up slightly when you select the correct number, then do the same with the next dial and so on until it opens, if that doesn't work start from the other side.
used to work in a call centre late 90's...everyone had a big plastic file with a combination padlock...you could open them just by pulling on the lock and feel when each one went to the right number!
people used to forget their number every so often and ask the ones who could open them by feel to do it for them

Potato.
Looks like the second one is a three, third maybe a zero. (i.e. the ones above what the combination actually is)
Alternatively get two spanners and pry it apart.
