    Hey guys!
    Im trying to identify this Omega Surevan variation. Has anyone seen it before? I couldn't find any similar dials for this supposed model. I think it looks more like a 2400-7 than a 6, could it be a wrong back case? Sorry for not having better images.

    If you search for Omega 2400 7 or 6 in google you’ll see plenty - many of the images are from OF

    AFAIK, the case designation is just a case batch number and not directly related to dial design.

    Thanks guys, I'm new to this so it was a bit confusing, but i think you have answered my questions. It does seem that the watch has gone through tough times, but it's still going strong in ticking!

    Another question, do you know about how much it costs to have it professionally restored it to it's previous glory?
    I might be leaving Sweden after living here for 3years and i think a Surevan would be a great departing gift. I'm wondering if it's worth the cost though ( the watch itself is about 200E).

    The cost to service varies greatly depending on:

    - who you take it to: some watchmakers only clean/grease/ship, others for a full test down, inspection and repair or replace all parts not at 100%. An older watch can take time to find parts and some have the patience and desire to do it right. The service cost can be 200 to 400 EUR plus parts.

    - how bad the movement is. I’m not so knowledgeable on movements and spotting condition, but even I can see there appears to be a lot of damage on that movement. I would expect a lot of parts to need replacing or repair.

    If you want it to be good as new or back to perfect running condition, I would personally budget a total of 500 to 800 EUR to get that serviced properly.

    However, that dial looks too damaged to me, so it wouldn’t be worth the service. I would wait to find a Suveran in better condition.

    Here’s mine I had fully serviced and dial relumed (watch on far right of this photo):
