Hi everyone
I recently joined the team by buying on a French market the attached watch. I don’t find some much details and information on the web, does any of you have info by any chance ?
I plan to go for a full restoration but the dial is really damaged, any chance that I can find a news one online ?
Thanks for your help
Have a good days
Mathew

Hello and welcome to the forum. What kind of restoration are you planning?

Hello Dan S, thanks for your answer I appreciate it, I am just planning a full cleaning of the movement by a watchmaker I know and also polishing the case and glass.
I wanna keep it original but as clean as possible.
Reason why I was asking if dial does exist for such omega
I found the attached pics on internet and if possible I really wanna turn mine in such a good condition
Do you have any advise for the restoration I should or shouldn’t do ?

You can keep an eye on ebay, but finding an original spare dial will be a difficult task.
Nice watch though, I wouldn't touch the case, just a full service.

Thanks for your answer, the full service is ongoing.
What do you mean by would touch the case ? No polishing?

Yes, no polishing or a very light one by a professional, gold is soft and you risk to ruin the case

No polishing, just a gentle cleaning.
