I don’t wanna mess with your intentions, but are you sure you want to complete that watch?
The dial looks very tired and possibly redialed. Also, do you know if the movement is in working condition? Spare parts, service = cost.
It is not easy to find matching case with crystal, stem and correct crown.
All I’m saying just think about it one more time. It might cost time and money and in the end you might be disappointed with the result..
Cheers, Kapka

··Vintage Omega AficionadoDial has been poorly refinished at some point, spending any additional funds to make this a complete watch would be a complete waste of time and money.

·It's the classic money pit, and at the end the watch will not look great if you look at the dial.

·I don't even think that the leaf hands go with that dial and movement. They belong with a 30T2, in my opinion.

·I believe the OP asked for cases that a cal 286 fits in. I don't think the OP asked for opinions on the dial or if his plan is a good idea.

I think people are just taking this particular prompt quite seriously...

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorMight have sentimental value.
But other than that it’s a money pit.
If you bought a donor case the dial would probably be original and a better choice.
Tell us a bit more about the watch and why you want to bring it back to life. Softens the crowd up a bit, if we know the story.
