··Vintage Omega AficionadoThat’s just wear to the gold plating and brass case beneath it. Not really reparable at least cost effectively.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersI would accept it as part of the history of the watch - and your dad.
What bit of the NE of England are you in?

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersHowever, case work is a bit of a specialist thing.
More importantly there is a small but enthusiastic Yorkshire OF contingent that meets up for good food, beer and watch banter - so we should add you to the list.

For the record, as a Geordie exile living in Leeds, I count Newcastle as the NE of England - Yorkshire is just the North of England in my book 😉

·I have sent a couple cases/bezels for replating to http://www.replateit.com/ in Canada and have been very pleased with their work. You can send the photos in for a quote, my guess is that the repair would cost ~150GBP. Well worth it IMO if you intend to keep the watch.

I have. He did excellent work replating a case for me. If it's possible to graft on a bit of gold cap (which I have some doubts about), I think he'd be the man to do it but it wouldn't be a cheap job.
