    After searching and hunting I'm happy to finally have obtained my first Omega. It was an eBay purchase, and pretty dirty when it arrived, with a very scratched crystal.

    Just got it back from servicing by the watchmaker and I think it looks great. I asked him not to polish the case, but he was able to restore the original crystal nicely, and give all the parts an ultrasonic cleaning etc. There is a little bit of patina on the dial and the seconds hand appears to have some corrision, but otherwise seems pretty good. He says the movement was in great shape but forgot to take pics like I asked him to. ::facepalm1::

    Anyway, here it is. Would love to hear any observations, good or bad!

    Definely sharp! I I have a similar Deville with the crosshair dial. I love stainless steel cases.

    Thanks for the comments, I also love the simple clean look and I can wear it to work anytime. Also love that dial with the crosshairs @WYO_Watch !
    Now to start the hunt for the next one...
