Help on this cal. 321 OJ 2437 chronograph!

Well, these days we have a great tool to find a watch using a photo. In Google Chrome browser that is called "Search image with Google". You right-click on the image and it shows you similar results. Based on that...

It would help if you could provide much more detailed photos. Then it would be possible to analyze if the dial has original printing.
But, design-wise your watch seems to be alright - there are similar Omegas out there.

Difficult to say if the hands are correct. They are in terms of the era. I can't see if the crown has Omega logo, but the design is correct.

Some samples I have found where you can see which hands were used.

Hi OF!

I shall try to remain short in my storytelling this time around.

An old pal, who previously sold me a beautiful 165.024, has shown me his stunning OJ 2437 in 14kt. I absolutely fell in love with this thing, but information on this beauty is hard to come by. I will share what I know:

Reference: OJ 2437
Delivered to USA in 1952
Caliber 321
Comes with EOA
Unserviced for quite some time, but runs.

He is willing to sell me the watch, however with no knowledge of the watch and its collectibility it is difficult to find a price. So my question is:

What am I looking at here in terms value, rarity and originality? I am trying to retrieve a fair price for both of us as it won’t be my last purchase from him. I suspect the hands may not be original to the watch. Furthermore, there is obvious wear in terms of missing lume and so forth.

I appreciate all your help and apologize for the pictures. The last two are taking in indoor horrible lighting.

I blew up the first pic of the dial, and unfortunately it shows enough to say it's reprinted.
