·(I'm reposting this with more information.)
This watch came in to my possession through my family. I have a few questions:
1) I know that it's nothing special, but is it worth servicing? What kind of performance can I expect after the servicing? I find the watch relatively attractive.
2) Were all Omega watches marketed as part of "lines" (Seamaster, Constellation)?
3) Where would this watch have been in the Omega line-up?
Here are the essentials:
1) Case is steel, 33mm, with 16mm lugs;
2) Signed crown;
3) Dial is patinated, with some tiny hairline cracks, visible in the photos;
4) It runs -2 minutes per day, except when it stops;
5) At best it has a 40+ hour reserve;
6) A virtually identical watch was sold on wannabuyawatch.com, where it is described as "Vintage man’s stainless steel Omega ref 2667-1 circa 1952" with a caliber 420 movement (https://wannabuyawatch.com/product/omega-stainless-steel-ref-2667-1-circa-1952/);
7) Here's another one, with replaced (?) hands and crown: https://www.mywatchmart.com/listing/253726-fs-omega-vintage-w-caliber-420-movement-cheap/ .
I have not been to a watchmaker to open the case, so no serial number.
