Is it a 4 over 63 or 4 over 61 on the inside of the clasp?
I first read a 63, but I'm no longer sure? Having had a closer look, seems to be a 61 to me now.
If the bracelet is original to the watch and dates to 1961, the other option is ref. 14755, in which case the hands would have been replaced.
So exactly as @Cuttysark says, you need to have opened the watch to know exactly what you have there...
In short, most of the time Omega will replace dial, hands bezel and so on, with service parts. Once that happens, value of the watch has gone down the drain. My understanding is they do this because they give out warranty with all the service they do, so they use new parts to make sure they can honor that warranty.
In terms of the movement issue, paging @Archer who may know what is being talked about and decipher what the issue may be.
As far as I know, everything is original, but Dad's not here anymore so... I can't ask... The numbers inside the clasp are 4/61. And to my knowledge the hands and the face are how he purchased it... ?
Thank you for that insight... that would suck as the watch would lose all emotional value, never mind monetary... not to be cavalier as some of the numbers being bandied about are surprising but again, the cool thing to me is wearing my dad's watch, not some replica version...
Anyone have a good shop in Atlanta to recommend, as the going opinion of sending the watch to Omega would be disastrous on all accounts...? Or close by, as not in CA or NY... :>)
