Greetings all. I'm new to Omegas so would be very grateful for your opinions and advice. Dial is unmarked except for "Omega Automatic". Case is marked 26535 7sc and has 351 movement. Serial number suggests manufacture circa 1952. It keeps good time while I'm wearing it but stops approx 2 hours after I take it off. I suspect it needs an overhaul. So, my questions: 1. What does the case marking indicate? 2. Does this particular what have a model name? 3. Is this the original, unretouched dial and hands? 4. Is the unmarked crown a replacement? 5. What are your opinions regarding value in its present condition? 6. I'm considering having it both overhauled and restored; would the latter adversely affect value? Would it be wise given its currently value? Obviously I don't want to put more money into it than it's worth. I apologize for the multiple questions but this is my first Omega and I'm not sure which way to go. Many thanks for your comments...
