Very nice anyone going to start a vintage collection,Omega gives good value for money.But be quick because they are going up in price fast,with some of the rarer models, have almost doubled in price, over the last couple of years.

nice piece! the redial looks to be tastefully done. my only concern is that cal. 510 was never used in vintage semasters..are you sure that is what it has inside? as if it is then this unfortunately would be a frankenwatch :( :(
you can cross check on the omega vintage website.. register, go to advanced search and enetr 510 calibre number there and you will see only 3 models that used this mechanism and none of them where semasters.

http://www.omegawatches.com/cu_vintage/main.php

i suspect that this is the watch you have:


Reference number: CK 14373

MOVEMENT
Caliber number: 510
Created in 1954
17 jewels

DIAL
Metal, with "Dauphine" hands

CRYSTAL
Hesalite

BRACELET
Leather

WATER RESISTANCE
No

CASE
Stainless steel
Press-in
Full metal

FUNCTIONS
Subsecond


MORE PRODUCT INFORMATIONS
Case : round (33 mm diameter)
For leather straps of 18 mm lug-size
International Collection : 1958
Swiss retail price (1958) : not available
Also available in 14K gold-filled under ref. (DW 14373)
Same watch style as ref. 14371 but with subsecond

you can check up refence number on caseback to see if this matches.
hope this helps
