Are you wanting to sell it? I think it's very cool that you are the original owner from 1980. If you want to sell it, condition is key, but just know that sometimes you will be better off selling in the current condition, than getting it serviced, maybe losing a few original parts, and then selling a cleaner but less original watch, plus you are out the cost of the service.

If you are just wanting to know whether it's worth servicing or not, I'd service it, using a good independent watchmaker. You should use the forum search function. It is actually quite good, and you will find specific recommendations for vintage Omegas. I would not replace anything, if this is really original. Just clean and service the movement.

Good luck, and if you are wanting detailed info, I'd post a few more pictures.

That’s a good way for a new member to get themselves banned here Mr. Frog.

This is not a Sales Forum. This is a Vintage Omega Collectors Forum. You are NOT eligible to Sell here straight away. Just read the Rules ....

The watch has been sold to Gray and Sons in FL who will eventually place it on EBAY for sale. Thanks to all that responded, sorry if I unknowingly violated any forum rules. I don't plan to return to this forum so please do not send me any messages!

Quick turnaround! I'm curious what you got for it from the jeweler?

Looks like potential water damage. lets assume dealer spotted that and opened it, I'd say OP for 30% of potential market value.

If you had waited for maybe 12 or 24 hours, someone would have come through. People are just a bit hesitant to help random people over and over, who just want to flip a piece and leave the forum forever.

Thank you for the response, and have a wonderful weekend!
