I like it!!! I can't give you any specifics on it, but I can say it's deserving of a thorough service by someone who specializes in vintage Omegas. I wouldn't wear it until it's serviced. Also, get that band off it immediately!! The inside of your lugs are going to get destroyed!!!
Lovely piece. Since there's no Omega logo visible on the inside case back, it's possible this is a locally-made gold case. Are you in the UK / do you think your great-grandfather purchased this in the UK?
Are you able to get any macro or zoomed in pics of hallmarks on the case lugs or the case back?
There is an Omega logo inside the caseback, but you need to blow up the photo and enhance the contrast. You may certainly be right about it being locally cased, however. The case maker stamp appears to say "RH" or "PH". Perhaps the OP can take a better photo where the engravings are more easily seen. He may need to try different types of lighting at various angles.

Finally opened it up to find out more information and looks like it is a Cal. 266. Ive been trying to research the model name, but don't seem to be able to find much.
Took some of y'all advice and got a new ostrich band. Feels much better and feels like it fits the style of the watch much more. Went around to some watchmakers here in Tokyo to see how much it would cost to service and was higher than I thought, around $500 to $900. Might because it's harder to find parts for this movement in Japan? Thinking if I should just wait till I go back to visit the US
The color of the strap fits the watch perfectly.
The strap looks great. Regarding the cost of a service, they can vary quite a lot depending on where you live, and it's typically related to cost of living and overhead as opposed to parts. You can find places in any major city who will quote prices like that to a stranger who walks in off the street. There's no reason yet to think that your watch will need any expensive parts, so the price you are quoted should just be a basic service price. Once the watch is disassembled, the watchmaker might learn that parts are needed, and that could add to the price.
If you can find any forum members who live in Japan by using the search function, you might send them a PM to ask how they get their watch serviced.
