·Nice one!
Would look even better with an 'in focus' picture 😉

·Well loved and worn watch!
Looks like buying some Polywatch could be an option...

·Welcome aboard, and what a start. What you’ve got there is an uncommon watch, especially in that configuration. We don’t see many hobnail dial 14350s around. Congrats!
Treat it well and enjoy!

·14350 is the reference number. If you google “Omega 14350” you’ll find other examples with the same unusual shaped case. The movement will be a cal 354 “bumper” automatic, called bumper because the rotor doesn’t spin freely 360 degrees but is “bumped” back my springs. On the wrist, you might feel that every so slightly. It’s not something loose on your movement, it’s just the design.
“Hobnail” refers to the structure of the dial. It’s one of the more uncommon structured dials Omega produced back then, only to be found on examples of the early to mid 50s.
What else is there you want to know?
Here are my examples with the same “hobnail”-structure:

·yes, perfect excuse to buy a "gardening watch"! Mine's an £80 orient diver. Also doubles as my holiday watch.

Polywatch is for the crystal and will take out most scratches. It's easy to use.
No need for pro case cleaning a damp microfiber and a toothpick will work well.
You should have the movement serviced professionally if not done in last 5 to 10 years or history is unknown. Preventative maintenance.

·Really nice watch there, dial is unique as mentioned and quite clean with only a few small spots. Some of us really like gold furniture with a stainless steel case 🥰. Your watch would be worth a surprising amount and will likely appreciate.
Get yourself a beater gardening watch, maybe a second hand Certina
