Great watch - shame about the condition

When going through the older threads on this site, I often run across mention of a rose gold capped Omega Seamaster "Sparkle" Chronometer.

Until today, I have never seen one:

Battered case, but the dial's is the part that has taken the most severe beating here 🙁

I really want one of these (not necessarily in rose gold), but a dial with issues is an instant turn-off. Too much of the attraction lies there - the rest is in that fantastic movement and the superb case finish. That's a bit lacking here, too. I'm sure that someone with money or skill could get a reasonable result with restoring the case, but that dial? Not so sure.

A further thing - are those dial markers in yellow gold? They seem different from the case colour. How often do these watches come for sale in RG? I can't remember having seen any.

I really like the look of this watch. Shame about the dial condition. Would be a nice watch if in better condition
