I thought this one deserves a thread of his own. According to the research of @Banner Roar this is the sixth known example of the model 14395. It's in very good condition, with the right serial 1709xxx and powered by the caliber 504. Crown is probably replaced at one time. And the bracelet is - I assume - a later replacement (is it even a genuine omega?). I've attached a python strap.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Congrats on your new find, Shabbaz.
I looked carefully at your watch and see that the dial has mix hour markers, interestingly, the ones at 12/3/6/9 have onyx inserts and the rest are solid and the hands match the solid ones, not the ones with onyx.
I have two watches that have mixed markers like that and hands also match the rest, not 12/3/6/9.
Have a nice day and enjoy your watch.

As pretty as that watch is, it'd be a crime to subject it to that bracelet ever again. Wrong style, bad plating, and probably not even legit. The python you chose is a gorgeous compliment.
