You might want to add a few more pictures of the dial and case etc. In any case at 200$ you can hardly go wrong.

If you take the numbers from inside the case back (135.003) and enter them with ‘Omega’ in Google you can start your search again.

Welcome to the forum.

If you search for "omega 135.003 arabic numbers" you will find other examples

As far as I can see your dial is OK

'Arabic Numbers' are not so common as other dial funiture but no reason to worry

Lots of dirt in the movement, you could think about a service

If you search for "Omega forums service ...... [name of your town]" you will maybe find some recommendations

If the new one is the striped one on the last two pictures it has the wrong size

286 is a high quality handwind movement and the regulator is steaight down the middle. That’s a really nice watch to start a collection. Take the advice and get it serviced, it will run accurately for a very long time.

Both the green leather strap and the colourful NATO are too wide for the lugs.
There can be no argument.

Should really be no problem getting an 18mm watch band, the rest is up to you!
