Would anyone here wear this?

Can't make my mind up...It's a keybolt compressor style quartz Seamaster, apparently, I have been informed from another watch forum. It's the only vintage watch I have (well, it's my dad's), and it has an Omega 1342 which is a pre Swatch Group calibre. it's in for a service at the moment but I think my dad may be planning to sell it; he wants a Rolex and I think this watch is in the firing line. Should I try to stop him? It's his to sell of course, but I may be able to sway him if I can convince him (and myself) that it is cool enough. To me it's a lovely dresswatch (I don't own a dresswatch) and a piece of Omega history but I'm also happy for him if he gets that Submariner he wants. What to do...

We could share it since the strap is adjustable. Oh I dunno. Thanks for the input guys.

I'm considering it. It's such a strange watch I have no idea what it may be worth. I'm going to ask the AD to include a valuation when I get my price quote on what needs repairing (they will phone me when Omega gets back to them).
