·Hey everyone,
Just joined this forum looking to get some professional information on my watch!![Smile :-) :-)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
I purchased this watch a couple years back and have worn it couple times a week. From my knowledge and little bit of research these are the things I know about it. This is (I could be wrong) a 1963 Omega Seamaster Automatic watch with a 166.002 case, and a cal 562 movement. It still runs but there are a few things I would like to fix or look to purchase parts for and what not.
Here are the few things about it that are the bad, it runs slightly slow, so it stays on time for the most part, but after a few hours, itll be like 15 minutes off. The crown is aftermarket and very small, so winding it is very difficult. The "glass" is also not factory, and its like hard plastic, you can feel that it can be pressed inwards, since its hard plastic. Overall, the watch works, but I would like for it to work as well as possible of course. I did not open the watch, but someone who does work on watches did before, so I know the case has the 166.002 stamp on the back, as well as the Cal 526 movement.
Would love to hear anyone's insights on this watch and the best place to purchase parts etc. I am not an expert on this watch but would love to learn as much as I can. It's definitely not the most expensive watch in my collection, but it is one of my favorites, so the sentimental value of fixing it up is well worth it to me.![Smile :-) :-)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
