    My dad used to own McDonald’s franchises in 60s-80s. He received these watches through the company over the years. I’ve never been able to find much information on them. As you can see I have all the items, box, papers, etc. The band are even the original omega leather bands. They still work also.

    With that being said, I’d love to wear them. I have a newer seamaster but these are really nice vintage watches. The thing is I don’t like the big McDonalds icon on the watch.

    I’m trying to find replacement dials for both. Not having much luck. Any idea how to find out the model these are and where to find replacement dials?

    Thanks in advance.

    The model will be in th papers you have. Inside the case back but since you have the papers

    Let's start with the top one.

    Open the brochure on the left and take a photo of all the pages.


    ( My advice would be sell the two and use the coin to buy a replacement of the first one. Way less time and money involved ;) )

    I know where you are referencing, but usually where all the watch information data is it is just stamped as “awards and incentives department” on both watches

    Model (reference) information is inside the case back. Then start searching eBay.

    These are just normal production watches with the logo painted on them. Finding another McDonald’s logo will be hard though. Rare but no real additional value if anything a small reduction and would go to a non watch McDonald’s collector esp the quartz ones.

    Neat pieces and has noted the reference number of the watch is inside the caseback. You don’t want to scratch the back of the watch when you open it.

    I would be looking for a normal dial to replace the McDonald’s dial face. I’ve been looking for the 1020 and 1342 cal dial face replacements but no luck to this point. I have a local omega boutique I’ll be taking to open for reference number.

    Odds are they will not do it. Where are you located?

    Late to the party but if my Dad had been awarded one of these the last thing I'd do is change the dial, it's part of a great personal story. My mum was given a seriously cheap company watch advertising a dish washer or something and I wear it with great pride to remember her on her birthday and mothers day.
