Soft case, missing lume in minute hand and dial.

You might want to visit Omega's vintage database and search for 14390-1. If it is in their database it will list the calibers.

Thanks, found it and it matches the caliber!

I am not familiar with the term "soft case" What does it mean in collectors circles?

Do you have any other dial pictures as the minute hand might be missing lume altogether

Here is a blow-up of one lug of the OP watch. Do you see how polishing has "softened" the originally sharp edges? And yes, @STANDY, the lume is missing from the minute hand.

Wow, I would never have seen that on the photos. I'll have a closer look when it arrives 😀 I get what you mean, but from an esthetic point of view at least it looks like it was polished properly... Or would you disagree? 😁

No, polishing like that is not desirable to collectors. I suggest you read the "learn how to fish" thread that I linked earlier in this thread.

I already read through it and I will use it in the future. Thank you! 😀 Ok, guess it's like you said: as long as I'm fine with it, it's ok and I'm fine with these rounded corners, but I will definitely have a closer look on them 😉
