Not sure if this is the correct bracelet for this watch. Non Omega clasp installed at some point and 1 end piece missing. The other end piece looks like it went through the garburator.

I love the dial and hands and the movement looks to be in very good shape.[/ATTACH] View attachment 1687027 View attachment 1687028 View attachment 1687029 View attachment 1687030 View attachment 1687031 View attachment 1687032 View attachment 1687033 View attachment 1687034 View attachment 1687035 View attachment 1687023 View attachment 1687024 View attachment 1687025 View attachment 1687026

A careful clean, polish the crystal and this will look even better than it already does.

Thanks Thommas,
Do you know if there is a way to determine which model the bracelet is meant for?

There's some coloring outside the lines. My understanding from others is that Ed Whites spread, although there is some problematic lumpieness also.

Do you feel that the dial has been altered at some point?

Not the Dial. The Lume .
