I'd definitely get it serviced. As for the crown, I like later ones that are easier to use, my 14381 came with a later Omega crown. At first, I wanted to replace that crown with the correct one. At the time I had a 168.005, that had the correct crown. After wearing the 14381 for a few months, I noticed I wasn't wearing my other one that much anymore, and realized that I had come to appreciate the usability of the later crown over the originality of the earlier crown.

When it comes to refinishing the dial almost everyone here will advise against that, including me. Most redials are not well done, and you'll halve the value of the watch.
Looks like the dial has been refinished once before already.

It sure does, I was looking at it on my cell phone earlier.

Good morning all. A 1962 Seamaster in a silver sunburst 14762 that is quite rare with arrowhead markers - and yes, I will get rid of that cyclops as quickly as I can.

My 36 year old Speedmaster 345.0808 has been on my wrist continually now for nine days. It has picked up 7 seconds over those nine days, compared to my iPad clock. Conditioned once in all those years, 2 1/2 years ago. Quite astonishing performance for a calibre 863 movement, in my view.

Timing the gap with new-to-me ‘blue hesalite’ Speedy (not best light to show amazing blue’ish hue to the crystal…)
