looking to get some info on this watch, where i might be able to get a bezel insert or have one painted, and the value of the watch as it sits and how it should be restored, i know a lot of people think these should be left as is with its "vintage" look.

the second hand still has a little lume to it. it runs strong and the watch keeps great time.
I did some research and from what i can tell the dial color is rare and the fact that it has straight lugs makes it more desirable. this is my first omega.I just picked up two others and will be asking for info on those as well.

thank you in advance,

well that's disheartening, you mentioned that the value would be as a parts watch; would that be for the same model watch or was this movement used in other styles? maybe i would frankenstein it for myself.

 

i can see the lume difference. doesnt look like too good of a job. did these come with light colored dials?

 

so maybe i should sell this as parts and concentrate on the other watches...

hands and a dial are gonna run about 500.00 not to mention the bezel.

could the bezel be swapped?

 

if you sell, let me know. i have another 1961 project with a bad case and need parts.... kind regards. achim
