Opinions on this Omega Automatic Cal. 501?

I purchased but I don't have a lot of information about it. From a Japanese dealer.

I know the cal. 501 is Omega's first full rotary auto, so I think it must be an early Omega (mid-50s to early 60's)? I'm hoping it's not a redail but it was at a very decent price of $426.90

I really like the copper tone color color! I think its very pretty. The crystal looks pretty scratched, but I bet it can be polished up nicely?

The dial is original and not a redial - but the case is shot... has lost a lot of its gold plating

Agree on the dial. A lot of shirt cuff wear on the lugs, so it was well used (in a good way).

Could be a contender for re-plating.
