I recently got a vintage Omage Seamaster. The time wasn't great so sent it for a service. I was told that whoever owned it before had done a botch job and needed a new balance among other things. It was too expensive to repair so I thought I would either sell it on ebay for parts or get a new movement as I really like the look of it. I opened the back and it seems to have 2 serial numbers 166.0660 and 366.0996 and its an automatic.

What I am asking is how can I tell the calibre to see if I can buy a new movement or old watch to replace movement or even if people think it worth it.

Thanks,

Derrick

 

Hi Derrick, you should post pictures of case, case back and movement to get good advice. The caliber number is on the movement, but if your 166.0660 (one zero too many?) is correct, you have a 70-ies seamaster, which should have a 564 caliber movement inside.

 

I added these. Can you view them?

Sorry, but I am unable to access these attachments. When trying to open I get a forum error message.

 

Sorry about that. Maybe you can see them now

Thanks for this.
