Good day to Omega fans!
Please tell me if the besel for this case is original? It's an old model, I couldn't find a reference by the number (10379935). Also, it seems like the crown is not original?

Dial original, case original. Crown replaced. Second hand appears to have been replaced, but hard to tell in fuzzy photos. Poor condition overall, and this would be best kept (or sold) as a parts watch to help repair something that will have some value.

Thank you! Yes, it is easier to sell them for parts, but I am interested in restoring them. Buying a crown and hands is difficult, but possible. In relation to the cost of buying them, even if I invest in repairs, I can always sell them for a higher price.

I don't him kthere is any money to be made here in repairing. As evenr repaired , all original and working it will have little to no value as the dial is shot. It would make more sense to find another watch with say a damaged case of movement and move the dial and hands into this one. Then it is possible to sell for a profit but it certainly isn't guaranteed. With my project watches, some I have won and some I have lost.
