·How does the condition of mine(case, back, inside case back, movement) rank from the ones around you've seen?
We'll deal with dial attributes when I can get some pix up.
And yours looks fantastic!
This pix should show sharpness of lugs as approaching side of case.
Even through the blurring

··Vintage Omega AficionadoYour case looks sharp and unpolished and the dial looks nice also.

·Well, I'll have to wait till I can take a few shots of the front when it gets to my house. My watchmakers skill at photos could be better. The reflections and hands covered up important fonts, ect. By the time I received pix, it was boxed and posted.😲
Love pristine screw heads on 60 year old watches.
You can see the blur in the case back picture, but should be able to tell that no watchmaker marks were found and the rotor had not been rubbing.
We'll have to make due with these
Dontcha love factory butlering and embossed stars with lots of definition! The "Constellation " and "Waterproof " is well represented just not in these pictures.
Nifty 10 sided crown, too.
He was under strict orders(and it is a Standing Order) not to polish, just clean case.
1958 via case back and serial number.....1,608x,xxx
I believe the dial will pass muster here, but it and me will be home about the same day and I will post my pictures and get your opinion then.😀

Here's the very same reference in identical trim (albeit a '57) . . .
. . . plus lumed hands and markers, provided on special order to the original retail customer.
I know the backstory of this one first-hand; it's for real, down to the original strap and buckle.
As it happens, not mine. The upside is, I still have both my kidneys.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoAnd here's something similar - seamaster and non-chronometre. This is one of the watches that reminds me of the HUGE number of dial variations omega produced - partial textured black dial with mixture of arrowhead markers in WG (with lume) and arabic numbers. A true mishmash of styles.
