·If you’re planning on using it regularly a service is important.
Also the dial was poorly refinished at some point, you might want to try to find a dial which wasn’t refinished and which will look much nicer.

·Oh Dear.... Joined today. No introduction. No further info. Just: how much is it worth ? No please. No thank you. This is a vintage watch collectors site. Not a free evaluation service. Start over again.

·I didn't see him ask for a valuation. He just showed his watch.
A watch by the way with Jim Loscutoff's name on the back. 1st round 3rd pick by the Celtics and played on 7 NBA championship wins
Jersey retired and hanging in Boston Gardens
Passed away in 1915
Curious how such a watch was sold by the family or why. Last year of college award watch

·« What’s it worth » was edited out of the initial post— and it seems the OP @Adymondt is contrite but not too sure what to do about it.
In the US they say « use your words ».
What’s wrong about the dial is that it was entirely repainted.
The «Omega » dial signature is not in the right font, is not crisp, and is almost overlapping with the Omega logo.

Well post altered, so hard to know what was said.
Dial repainted as it was an award watch. Not a great job though

Don't beat yourself up!!! It's all good, welcome to the forum. Fantastic heirloom!!! I'd at a minimum get the watch serviced and worry about the dial later. Yo can always send the dial out at some time to have it refinished.

Apology accepted, there’s nothing wrong about asking what is the watch worth-
But we’re human beings; we have a life and other things to do, and we just think people should say « hello », « please » and thank you » when they seek free expertise.
Your acknowledgement is appreciated.
Since I’m French and not familiar with your great grand father I failed to appreciate the inscriptions on the dial— so perhaps indeed you should keep as is for the sentimental value.

·He can't send it out for refinishing because it's printed, I assume, as part of the award. Now if it is completely unrelated, fine, but half the value is in the dial as it is.

·interesting family history, very cool ! Great that you save this watch.
I'm not clear, the entire watch dial was reprinted at the time of the award (and as we see it now) in order to add the award text at the time? Or the award text would have been added to an otherwise original dial, and at some point later, all of that has been redone? I guess this might be hard to know, unless there are other award watch examples to compare to from that time period?

·I understand, it would be interesting to research if anyone kind find any other award dial examples. I tend to think the award text would have been just added to an otherwise stock dial, and the omega text is so poorly printed here, it makes me lean towards thinking the entire dial has been redone at some point, both stock omega text, plus award text. But that needs research.
you could get the 8 hour marker re-attached, the sub seconds hand is broken. Not sure if hour and minute hands are stock. If anyone can find other award example dials, and we confirm it has been reprinted, and it were part of my family, I would probably spend the money to have the dial redone again, much better quality, using another award dial example. Movement probably needs a service. I would would take off the flex bracelet which probably damage the gold fill on the lugs.
