Hello all. New to this group. I have couple of Omegas that (1) want to identify how old they are?

(2) also would like to find a reliable place that I can have them maintained.
What location are you in (city / state)

I was told that the Connie has original omega movement when I bought them 20+ years ago.

I lived in Austin for over 23 years and I always used the watchmaker at Korman’s jewelry for my service - I also bought my first new Omega from them around 2003. He serviced a couple of Speedmasters for me (one a cal. 321) as well as a vintage Seamaster 300. I was very happy with the service. Just looked ‘em up and they still advertise watchmaking on site with An Omega parts account. You might be able to find someone in the area who can do it cheaper, but I doubt they will do it better.

That might well be right, the dial was repainted at some point in its life. Not uncommon, back in the days when originality didn’t count as much as today, a dial would sometimes be redone during a service. It’s why the DeVille is the overall nicer example, but you’ve owned them for 20 years - wait for some advise regarding a watchmaker close to you, get them serviced and enjoy wearing them. It’s what they were built for. 😀

Sometimes my 89 year old mother puts all the content in the subject line of her emails.

I’m not a grandpa, but did wounder why there was a text limit. I was using my phone and could not tell I was in subject line.
