    If the movement and watch is in good condition some people may place a high value on that dial, so don't toss it away. I would recommend taking some higher resolution pics of the dial and if you can the movement and someone here will give you the full tour.

    A higher res photo shows that the dial has Omega Fab Suisse at the top, indicating it was imported into France. I don't have tools with me to open it, so I will take it to a watchmaker to get movement details. The crown is marked with the Omega symbol and the crystal is badly scratched.

    I hope you don't have hairy wrists, those expanda-meshies are real hair grabbers. But they are comfortable though if the size suits.

    Can't wait to see the details of the dial and movement.

    Thanks for the advice. Next stop a watchmaker. By the way, cost of the watch was 20€. I figured I couldn't lose.
