**Update**

I got my report back from Omega...finally. Turns out the nick on the top left lug is going to be ridiculously expensive to fix and it not necessary as it is only a cosmetic detail and not one I am concerned about as it is part of the watches history. The next thing was the perspex which is scratched. Although they polished it while it was with them some of the scratches are too deep. Again, I am not going to bother about a few scratches on the perspex as none of them really detract from the look of the watch and with just a quick run under the polisher it already looks miles better.

As for the movement. It was flawless. The time keeping was within the original parameters with no work done to the movement. There was nothing to fix or replace and there was almost no dirt. They think that it was most likely serviced shortly before it was put into hibernation from where I found it. They re-did the oil points just to be on the safe side.

They commented that the strap is not original, but then I knew that as it has been replaced at least 3 times in its life.

All in all a tank of a watch for durability, and I am afraid to say, despite the protests on here, that I am unlikely to get it serviced any time soon staying with my "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. I have had far too many headaches from freshly serviced watches in the past (and yes all at authorised service centers).
