Hello All,

Newbie here on this site. Had to share my most recent acquisition. Excited.
From what I understand an Omega Seamaster Reverse Panda. I believe the bracelet is original to the watch, No.12 Stainless Steel Omega 18mm Ends. I am not exactly sure what I acquired, so here I am on the premier Omega Forum. Also, looking for quality restoration companies that you (the professionals) would recommend. Currently, the watch does not run. Winds normally, but with no "action". Sets time as expected.
Can anyone confirm what Omega watch this is? Any detail, or information. Also looking for the Restoration recommendations.
Thanks to everyone who reads my Thread. Your help and expertise is Greatly Appreciated!!! Thanks Again!

Congrats on this rare bird. Serial number fits perfectly. Oxg import mark to the US is also visible.
Couldn't find more than 10 examples on this dial variation.

I would recommend a movement service and replacing the crystal (the correct omega crystal should be available- I think it is the pz5043; spare parts for the 321 aren't the cheapest)

I think the upper pusher is a non correct replacement pusher. The correct pushers are not easy to find and really expensive.

Please let us know where you are located and I am sure you will get some suggestions for a good watchmaker

Hello Duffy7,
Thank you again for the wealth of info.
I reside in Phoenix, Arizona, US. If you have a watchmaker you would recommend in my area, I would love to have their name please.
Thanks!

Hey guys, new here also. I stumbled onto to one of these last year also. didn't know what I had either. got a good long story for some other time. messed up finger and waiting for hand surgery. I wear mine in my, not so consistant rotation. My serial is 26547xxx. these pics are before servicing with my omega guy.
