·Greetings to OF experts,
The movement in my early 70s Seamaster 200 was severely corroded decades ago, but I am now looking to revive it (my first "real" watch) for sentimental reasons. I have been told by two sources that there is next to nothing salvageable. Noting the thread on donor parts, I would seek to re-use the barrel bridge (?) with SN.
Questions: What is the chance of finding a complete Cal 1002 movement to swap in? Having spent time here and elsewhere (the Bay), I am not finding any. Could a movement such as a 1010 be substituted? What would an Omega Service Center do in this situation?
Any other advice that would help me start this restoration journey is appreciated.
Thanks!
