Can you give me some information about my Omega? Model, year etc..
I know there is some information inside, but it works fine and I am afraid to open it.
It was a gift from my mother to my father and thats all i know about it.

 

Looks like a ref 168.0053, cal 1001.

Probably not an Omega bracelet.

 

Wow.... nice shape! Take good care of that one.

 

Not a fan of the strap and neither is my daughter but the watch is a stunner. That piece deserves a service and a lovely leather strap. It always amazes me what lies around for years only to surface in stunning condition.

 

Thank you
My father only used the watch on special occasions and I have never used it since I inherited it.
Should I have it serviced or is it okay to just keep it in my safe for another decade?
Why does it need service?

I actually think my mother had the bracelet replaced because she didnt like the original one, so youre probably right about that.

 

If you plan on wearing it, you should service it. Otherwise it can sit unused.

Nice heirloom!
