··Melbourne AustraliaGenuine Omega Seamaster.
Dial has been redone at some stage.
Calibre 343 was a chronometer rated movement introduced in 1949.
Serial number dates it to 1950 or thereabouts.
Overall in tired condition but could be tidied up with a decent service.

·The rest looks quite original. Retained even the Lead seal.

·Was there supposed to be a ruby in that red area in the inside of the piece. I took this to a watch shop the other day to see how authentic it was and I’m really hoping they didn’t remove it
Why on Earth do you think, a Watchmaker removes a $ 0.5 industrial Red stone with a Hole in it ? For a Necklace ? Bastard's !

Dial to me looks more like original than redone.

Knowing how hard it is to decently re-ink hobnail dials I was going for original, but the irregular spacing/positioning of the text swung me the other way.
I realise that dial printing in the 1950s wasn't as refined as it is today, especially on textured dials, but this just looked off to me.

··Melbourne AustraliaHow much would a service and restoration be for this piece and would it be worth while to cherish after the fact?
If you're in Albania it'll cost peanuts.
If you're in Zimbabwe it'll probably cost at least twenty cattle.

·I can feel a thread drift coming on…
If I lived in Iceland, how many penguins would it be?

I'm in Albania and can confirm it'll cost 5 peanuts.
