I found attached to a Navajo cuff bracelet another Omega from my Great Uncle, a Seamaster. I had a mild restoration done on it locally: cleaned and oiled mainly, and the dial was restored. Here are some specifics found from Omegawatches.com: Seamaster Automatic Movement Number: 17 963 639 Case Reference Number: 14700 2 Reference number: KO 14700 Caliber number: 552, 24 jewels Created in 1958 Case details: Gold-cap on stainless steel, Screw-in, Full metal Case : round (33,5 mm diameter), 14K goldcap on stainless steel, SS screw-in case back with �O�ring� gasket. Any information on possible valuation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.   | ||

I just sold a similar one, with a nice original dial for $400. Generally speaking, restored dials will bring less, so call it $300-400. | ||

Moral of the story: Do not restore the dial unless absolutely necessary for the watch to be a functional timepiece. Zaf, thanks for your time and information. The service you provide is much appreciated. |
