    Be careful:

    The olympic box is missing its interior (watch holder) and seems to have a broken hinge spring as the lid does not stand open by itself - in one of the photos you can see part of the fingers to assist to keep it open for taking the photo...

    Do you mean both or just the 1956? That's a good catch as I had not noticed.

    I love that blue seconds hand. Is a blue seconds hand original to this watch?

    Yes. I think so. Many early Omega chronometer models had it.

    I wonder if it was the waffle dial? Of course, I have no idea if this one is original to this watch:

    A 1940-50s(?) Bumper Omega, from the original owner. I think ref 2421 or 2438 from the case shape. Non-original crown, but not bad dial/good hands. The seller wont open the watch, but I bet the movement movement would be fine with a service. I would be buying this if funds allowed. My last suggestion on here was a franken.. so I hope this is better.

    The seller says so and says the dial is in good condition. Seller has good feedback and it all just somehow "feels right" to me. ETA: The visible discoloration is def on the crystal. Full on the upper 5 marker is covered by it but obliquely that area is clearly unmarked.

    I really like that one, its exactly the type of watch I like to buy, looks original and unloved, not prettied up for sale, whack a new plexi on that (no watchmaker is repairing that crystal) have it serviced (also a must do as it has definitely not for many decades) and it'll come back from the watchmaker looking like a gem.
