    I'm doing some research on the watch below (for my dad) and I'm curious if anyone on here has any personal experience with this specific piece or this hand-wound movement? To my knowledge, Omega only uses this 3203 movement in it's Museum pieces. My father is going to his local Omega boutique to view the watch tomorrow. The boutique was nice enough to bring it in from another boutique. I think they found a new one sitting in the case somewhere in California. I listed the information I've been able to find on my own with some questions listed at the bottom. Thanks in advance for reading and any direct experience with this watch/movement would be super helpful.
