    The crown looks okay, but I'm not sure if it is "correct". Too bad about the dial though, because it seems like that dial in good shape can be pretty desirable. You would be much better off trying to find an original dial in better shape on eBay. The "bullseye" style does come up pretty often.

    thank you

    I like the green color of the bull's eye dial, I prefer the racing dial. I have noticed that many leave the original dial without fixing it.

    Crown looks good to me from that photo. I’m wearing my Mk I today and my WM swapped out an incorrect, narrower crown for a proper one. Looks like yours.

    Unfortunately, there's not anything you can do to "fix" the dial other than wait for a better looking one to come along to swap in. Crown looks fine though.

    thanks friends.

    finding an original dial in good condition is very difficult, including a vintage blue or green omega in the collection is also difficult. look at the bracelet it is very worn but it confirmed to me that it is original and very worn. I own the classic.

    The bracelet definitely isn't original. I have a few originals and none of them look like this. There were alot of aftermarket bracelets made for and put on these watches. Additionally, I'm fairly certain that by the late 60's and early 70's none of Omega's bracelets have the cheap folded side links. If anything, this reminds me of the seiko H link bracelets.

    it seems strange to you. I am trying to recover parts that I no longer use.

    That bracelet looks correct. They do make fakes that look just like it, but the stamping on the clasp would verify authenticity. I personally have that style clasp and the later style with the boxed Omega symbol. They're nice bracelets.

    You should get the one you like best and in the best condition. They are both good watches if properly maintained.

    I also agree that it doesn't make much of a difference from a collectability standpoint, but the date only vintage watches generally sell faster with me (when I end up selling a watch). Condition is much more important though.

    the date ago in the dynamic makes the vintage. this the bracelet is very good almost non-existent signs, the dial has aged worn writing and the scratch at 11 o'clock. is in working order. making a reprint and riveting the indicators would not cost a lot. I tried it on my wrist the problem for me is too light, comfortable but I like to feel the watch on my wrist. i think i sell it.
