Thanks. The hands must have been replaced. I have a straight hour hand, like the 2nd gen watches. Also, do you know what the value of this watch is?

: Yes, It's orginal.You have the better version
: of the caseback.

: I received this message back from Omega's
: vintage department in 2001.

: "yes, according to the submitted "
: scans ", you have the newest and better
: version of case !

: the change was due to the fact that when
: removing the old case back for maintenance
: operations, the water-resistance was very
: difficult to be obtained again... gasket
: problem !

: Therefore the case back is in two parts, i.e.
: one flat disc and then a strong steel ring,
: tightening the whole case back and assuring
: again the whole " water-resistance
: " expecting for a skin-diver !"

: The pictures on my webpage shows the two
: versions.

: The auto first gen has your caseback
: The quartz first gen has the other caseback

: Patrick
