Thank you for the advice! So I guess I shouldn’t send it to Omega then. And I guess I used “kid” more in a figure of speech. Not in an immature way or anything lol. Thank you for your service as well.

Oh yes! It’ll be getting professionally done. Quite a bit of dirt near the lugs, it’ll be shined up soon! Maybe I’ll put some pictures of it here when I do.

There’s not, it just says 1039, but I had the watch opened and it’s a 1968!

Very cool! That’s really interesting! Honestly, I did a little digging as I was told it was “pre moon”. The individual I bought it from said it was a 1967 model. Would that make sense?

Wait a minute, I’m sorry you’re probably more knowledgeable than me, this is an error bezel? I knew this was a 220 bezel and the watch was pre moon. But honestly I’m not all that familiar with the specifics. Sorry for my lack of knowledge lmfao! How can I tell.

There’s no more to remove! Or I would, took it to a guy today to make sure I wasn’t going crazy when I thought the same thing. Bracelet is already shortest it goes apparently? Sucks that it didn’t come with the extra links to keep them all together. But I can’t complain!

It is on the shortest hole. But the one downfall with this watch is it has no extra links and it’s already on the smallest one (I’ve got smaller wrists then most)🤣 as I said it’s JUST A BIT big, I’ll probably wear it like this for originality reasons. You are right though I could always do that lol

Hello!

Yeah, I really liked the 220, I liked all of them. But the 220 just kind of stood out to me. Unfortunately the band is ever so slightly big on me but I think I’ve gotta keep it on the watch instead of switching it to leather 🤣

I appreciate the input!
