·Hi everyone,
Recently stumbled on the forum and found it to be a really useful resource so decided to stop lurking and join in.
I have several Omegas from the 50s and 60s, but recently acquired a 14k gold Omega Seamaster, I believe it's a 1966 14701 SC, however I had a query about the dial. It appears to be a solid gold dial, sharing the same brushed effect as other deluxe models on the site, however these mainly seem to be 18k models. Is anyone aware if these were offered in 14k?
I know the best way would be to take it to a watchmaker and remove the dial to check, and I'll likely do this in time when I have it serviced.
To me the case appears a little rubbed, possibly from wear or an over zealous polishing but I was aware of this when purchasing. Would I be correct that it should be sharper faceted?
I welcome your more educated thoughts!
