·I picked this up at an antique store and would like to see if it’s real and what model it is. There are markings with dates and years on the caseback but you have to zoom in to see them clearly.
Can someone identify?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Model number is on the caseback.
Serial number on the movement will tell you the year.

·The hard to read marks appear to be service markings.

·Where do you live? Maybe someone here could recommend a local watchmaker.

·It's definitely real, but it is missing the crown and stem, and will need a full service as well. The cost of the service may make your head spin a bit - likely a bare minimum of $250, and that's assuming that no parts need to be replaced. The watch is gold plated, not solid gold, too.
Unless you really like it, I would probably suggest trying to sell it on ebay, as the cost to service is about the same as the value of the watch if it were working. You can probably sell it for $200+ on ebay, but that's just a guess - not based on any specific knowledge.

·Send it to Omega? 😲 I wouldn't be surprised if they charged you a $1,000 to service that. Considering is missing the crown i am sure it has some other issues as well. Best to take it to a local watchmaker and get them to bring the watch to a running/usable condition. Good service is definitely not cheap and not worth on all watches.

Stem is there. Need a crown and case tube for sure.
