As collectors, what we care the most about is maintaining the original look of a watch. If something has been restored - for instance, the part of the dial on yours that has been repainted - we tend to value the watch lower, often losing interest. In your case, as you are probably not looking to sell the watch and furthermore like the work that has been done on it, you shouldn't care too much
The watch was originally sold in the USA - that model wasn't marketed elsewhere and the case has been produced in the US for Omega. The case is of the "Gold Filled" variety, which means that is a "base metal" case that has been been treated with a thin layer of gold, making it a cheaper model to buy than a solid gold one, but more expensive than one made purely out of steel.
