Thoughts and opinions needed On this watch . As found in drawer of 103 year old doctor

Put it back in the drawer.

It seems to work fine but didnt want to run too long. The cap on the crown is loose. Otherwise intact. There were several better watches with other discarded items dating to the 70's. How do I identify this watch? What is a radonable service estimate. I am going to wear it. Which band would be correct. I put that one on it

Not sure he is long gone. He was from chicago. I do know that his son had electrodes in his neck. He handled the estate sale

You are a good sport! As a new poster, you're learning quickly that the "éminences grises" are zealous about watches having the original, factory dial and not being polished. Youll surely want to get a watchmaker to open this one up and see how the movement has survived all these years. From what I have read, winding and running the watch in its current parlous state risks damaging it severely and upping your service expense. I think you'll be looking at over $300 plus parts to get it running, maybe another $150 if you want to do something else with the dial, assuming you are in the USA. If you got it for a song, it might be worth it, though its desirability to collectors is already compromised. If it's a genuine Omega, it runs and it looks great and it's not too expensive, there's a market for it! Congrats on the find and not being deterred by the Son of Frankenstein!

Just wondering what the "several better watches" were?

Hey @manduke you'll need to open up the back, get the reference from inside the caseback, and what movement calibre you've got there

Yours should be a calibre 551 movement and case perhaps a ref 14381, 14393?
