    The picture of the movement is MUCH too small to tell what caliber it is. If it's a 351 or 354, they aren't rare at all.

    I think it is an earlier movement as there are visible bumper springs... either 28.10 or 30.10 is my guess

    Looks like a 30.10 movement with a refinished dial. Neither the movement nor the watch is uncommon.

    The fonts are wrong - that's how you spot redials. Of course, that means you have to know original fonts on sight.

    The Omega logo on your dial should be in ink or applied with round edges. Like this one
