·That's my mistake... The first watch also has a dial which doesn't belong to that reference. Why don't you recommend a gold-plated case? The watch with gold-plated case presents some problems in the movement?

·"The watch with gold-plated case presents some problems in the movement?"
No, movement on this one seems fine.
Gold plated cases are not interesting except if you want a precise model at a fair price.
usually they have some poor quality metal base.
Of course this is different with the stainless steel gold capped cases.

·The best way is to take your time and look at listings from private individuals, for example, on this Omega website.

·According to you, is the dial in the watch with gold-plated case original?

·To be honest, I’m not sure. with this kind of watch, it’s difficult to talk about "original" parts, given that watchmakers a large stock of components.
One solution would be to find a nice steel case and source a dial elsewhere.

··Home For Wayward WatchesI am a fan of the Longines 30L and 30LS movements. They are quite accurate and very dependable when properly serviced and regulated.
Longines 30L dials are nicely understated. They are attractive when in good condition. They are yet available in good condition. There is patina that some find attractive then there is dirt and deterioration. Learn the difference. Spend enough to get beyond a dirty and deteriorated dial.

·In my opinion, the last watch I posted isn't very damaged. We should also consider that it’s 60 years old…
How Can I understand if the dial is original of not?

·I think dial is original in the last example.
Once again it depends on how much you can have for your purchase.
I prefer buying a perfect watch even if the price is little too high than a low price watch with defaults.

·it is not mine anymore, I sold it some years ago.
You are right the 30L is a fine movement.
I like also the manual 284 and the 12.68z

·If you take your time you can undoubtedly find a perfect example. This is not an ultra rare watch.
