So, could have been better (18k, overall condition) but darn sure could have been worse!
How are you feeling?
Plans? (off to the sympathetic watchmaker, I hope!)

Hey, I don’t care much if it’s 18k or 14k😉 It was a bargain and my research proved me (partly) right. All thanks to the OF👍

If this question is with respect to the manufacturing date, the 1953 date is based on the 13.7M movement serial. I don't find case markings to be particularly helpful for dating Omega watches from this era.

Ah, of course. So what about the meaning the serial in the caseback?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but I think the watch is fine, i.e. I have no reason to believe that the movement was re-cased. If you really want more detailed information, you will have to pay for an Extract from the Omega archives, but I don't really see much upside.

There are no worries from my side. I was wondering why the different serial number in the caseback?

Omega case and movement numbers don't generally match.
