I have a 1967 Omega Seamaster. What a great dress watch. I would keep your dial as is. One, it gives it character. Two, it can actually decrease in value by replacing, or even cleaning up the dial.
Got a tip for us?

I'm 21 and got my first Guess watch when I was 13. Now I have a watch case that houses 12 watches, 11 of those spots are filled. I wear a watch everyday unless I'm sick and don't leave the house. I rarely if ever look at my iPhone for the date/time. ]I have an addiction.
Mid-30s. I never wore a watch between 16 and 30. At 30, I started looking into watches as jewelry more than anything, and then it pretty much went downhill from there.
Quoting myself ha.
Bought one, best watch i've ever had, so clean and classy, super impressed.
Do not touch that dial, most of the value of a vintage watch is in the dial and hands. Your watch may not be the most collectable but you will lose any value in that piece by screwing around with the dial and/or hands.
If you plan on never selling it, that's a different story...
I was in Beverly Hills yesterday for the "Inside Basel Geneva" watch event by WatchTime. I got to try on an A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1. I've been a fan of the asymmetrical design of the Lange 1 dials and this is a superb watch.
I doubt I'll be able to get one anytime soon at $40K in white gold, though (they don't make watches in steel).
But I'm pretty much set on getting the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon 39 early next year.

What's your job, timekeeper?
No, seriously, I've never heard of anyone requried by their job to wear a watch.

Haha, no, but good guess. I am a train conductor.
I've been holding off for a while now, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger something about that brand, the design and clean look classy stuff
I'm 20 currently and I love watches. I wear a watch everyday, even though I usually check my phone for time. I've been in the mindset of having to wear a watch everyday, and if I don't wear one, I just feel incomplete...that something is missing.
This. If I forget my wedding ring or my watch at home while on my way to work I feel the strong urge to swing by to pick it up. Feels so weird without them.
I'm from the old school (probably because I'm an old guy!).
I never "forget" my watch, for the simple reason that the only time I take it off is to dry it after getting out of the shower.
Nice. I love this (especially with its orange strap). I'm hoping to buy one in the future, if possible.

My daily watch for the last 11 years, and no plans to change as I love it

Fairly old post but the majority of people at my school wear watches to see what time to go to lessons etc.
I've been wearing a watch almost every day since I was 8.
