Vintage Omega
While clearing through some personal items of a relative who passed away a while back I found an old gold Omega watch. I think this must be from the 70's from the style, but would appreciate any information anyone may have on the model or year. Also, unfortunately, the bracelet is damaged. I've tried to take some pictures showing this, though the quality isn't great. I would appreciate any advice on whether it is possible to repair this kind of gold mesh bracelet? It looks like it is part of the case rather than a replaceable bracelet, so could be an expensive repair?Many Thanks in advance!1-DSC_2528.jpg1-DSC_2526.jpg1-DSC_2532.jpg1-DSC_2535.jpg1-DSC_2536.jpg
