I put this up again as had no images in original.

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 have two options. I could either sell it on ebay for parts or get a new movement. I would prefer to keep it as I really like the look of the watch. 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 for your advice Omega lovers ,

It's a 1000 series caliber, and a refinished dial. Not a watch that would fetch much money.

 

Thanks. I know it's not worth a lot but I kinda like it. I might have a look at replacement movement. Where would people advise tracking one down? Ebay?

 

Thanks a million for your advice. Think it's to eBay with me.

I hope you don't mind me getting back to you. I have looked for a 1000 movement on eBay but there doesn't seem to be many about. Would a 1010 or 1012 movement be the same size? Sorry to ask such a stupid question.
