Hi all. Omega noob here... I just picked this up at auction. This is not the brand I know most about. I was able to go to the first viewing, surreptitiously set the time, and then come back for the last viewing 3 days later. The time was bang on, so all good there. I did enough research here to convince myself it was worth a punt! I haven't cracked the back off yet, and am visiting my watchmaker tomorrow. An original strap, perhaps not THE original one. Just interested in your thoughts. Value? Should I get my watchmaker to polish it? He has a lot of vintage Omega restoration experience and is Omega certified. I haven't touched it yet, so a bit of tarnish etc. I don't have a great camera, sorry!
I'm afraid it's a refinished dial. I never saw a font like this. It already saw enough polishing so I would not do this. Value. Well. It's a nice daily beater. Enjoy! It's still a nice watch!
Or maybe in this case you can let somebody refinish it again but this time with a better outcome. There are some members who know somebody who is brilliant in refinishing dials.
Cheers. Pretty much how I purchased it. I'm not in watches as investment class! Although given the current climate who knows how anything is going to turn out...
