·Try to find a local watchmaker that works on Omega. It’ll be much cheaper and you’ll get a better result than returning it to Omega.

·I bet with a service and a new hesalite crystal it will look amazing. All personal preference but since it is sentimental I would consider leaving the current bezel as it is, each one of those knicks has a story. My Speedy (ever so slightly younger) says hello.
And dont get it polished!

·I'm going to take a different tack and suggest you replace the bezel with a suitably aged used one, the existing one seems just a little too far gone. As long as you don't chuck the original one away, it can always be included or re-fitted in future should you need to, you won't have lost anything.

·But that bezel oozes patina, it tells a story all by itself.
And unless you’re driving at 150, 190 or 450 you’re good to go, everything else is clearly legible 😉

I sourced a new factory crystal and service bezel from some kind members here and it made al the difference for me. Originals are safely tucked in a box.
