Advice:

To maintain the value and authenticity of this magnificent
timepiece is not to restore the dial.

The patina on the dial gives the watch its character and
once its repainted the lettering is very difficult to duplicate.

To clean and adjust the movement is what I highly recommend.

Personally speaking:

I own a 1924 Omega pocket watch with the movement  Caliber 40.6L Type 1.
The nickel plating is quite worn on the movement, however I spent
considerable of dollars in getting it serviced.


Congratulations on such a beautiful timepiece.

Cheers,
Simon
