Hey, so awhile ago I posted a thread on the Omega the pawn shop had for $150. Well I waited and went back today, I offered $50 and they took it. Really a nice looking Omega!! Can't beat $50 as this is my 3rd men's Omega. As for the strap, I am thinking of black crocodile? The same that is on it now except a nicer/newer one. Serial number dates to 1970, caliber 601.
Redone dial? Most of this reference seem to be circa 64-65? I’m a lightweight on these watches but a quick google search isn’t that encouraging
https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-geneve-redial.65727/#post-826685 I think the dial is fine I wondered that same question. Also, no cleaning up done yet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-OMEGA-Geneve-Cal-601-Leather-strap-Hand-winding-Men-039-s-Watch-350567-/282645371247?hash=item41cefa196f:g:1mAAAOSw71xZpk6j&nma=true&si=SuP3Yi4gvXnxKV%2FMkzBqL%2BWqGo8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network this dial is very similar different numerals rs and also dates to 1970 caliber 601. It could very well be a redial, more opinions would be great!
Try a nice lizard skin on the slimmer style watches with smaller lugs like this one. Saves the leather getting worn between the lugs like your third picture ( right side )
I'll go against the grain and suggest black lizard instead of a bigger reptile. The finer texture will fit the size and detailing better, IMO. Nice find!
I do like lizard, however, my other Omega Geneve is on lizard already. Trying to go for something different! What about snake?
