Hi hammerd79 welcome to Omega forums. If its worth restoring a watch is up to you. If the watch have sentimental value most people feel that a restauration is worth it. If not, I think most people on here would say no.

A restoration could be had cheaply from a watchmaker or expenciely from Omega in >Switzerland. Prices from app. $ 300 to $ 800.

You should confirm that it is authentic before investing in a repair.

Post better photos and provide some context about the watch. Where did it come from? Does it have sentimental value? What do you want to do with it?

Finding a bracelet for that type of watch is difficult and even if it is authentic, Omega watches from that era aren't terribly desirable.

This watch is a gift from my uncle, it has sentimental value as my uncle has passed away, i wanna use it as a daily watch.

I do not know any info about this watch, i destroyed as small kid its bracelet as far as i remember 30 years have passed since, maybe more...

I will take more photos and post them so it will be easier to find a bracelet for it even if is not authentic, i do not care.

That fact that it has sentimental value makes a big difference. You will need to be patient, gather information about the watch, and search for a bracelet. It's possible that you may need to find another example of the same reference with a good bracelet, and scavenge the bracelet from that one. Unfortunately, some of the bracelets will be in poor condition, stretched out. But with patience, you will find one.

Finding a bracelet is definitely going to be difficult, integrated bracelets always are.

Since you said you destroyed the bracelet, I'm guessing it lived a fairly harsh life. I'd suggest getting it serviced of course.

That said... is it missing its bezel? It looks like it should have one.

IF you bring it to a watchmaker for service, start by having them get the reference number from the inside back of the case. You might be able to see what it is supposed to look like, plus the missing pieces, and make your googling easier.

Solve the problem of the missing BRACELET before you spend any money on the watch. Only an original bracelet designed to fit that case will be suitable, and you will likely have no other option.
