Sorry for hijacking this thread with newbie questions (although relevant). Where does one find a new glass for vintage watch? Is that something that a watch maker can figure out? How does it affect the price of the watch? Even better, is there a post that explains this?
There is a radio talk host named Bruce Williams who is famous for multiple things including good fiscal advice.
He said, don't fall in love with anything that can't love you back.
That your dad had a Seanaster 600 is significant. However, you'll never match it... and it will never be your dad's watch.
So let that go.
For your first Omega? Buy a new one. Or a recent one. Take a look at the DeVille Prestige line.
Don't go chasing vintage at first unless you buy on this forum, because the sellers here (the private ones) generally sell good watches for a decent price.
You can't buy a memory, so stop trying. (I learned that the hard way.)

I did... But just google:
Omega seamaster 600 136.011
and then pictures and you will find them. It will take you two minutes.
Thank you for your kind advice.
I looked a bit and found these (took me more than 2 minutes):
and this one with the melting "er" as well (which still looks different to the OPs dial):
Absolutely not a redial.
V VolatyleSorry, not trying sound like I'm going on defense here, but your response really surprised me - You honestly have no idea about what memories I am chasing and not or how this relates to a watch I'm trying to purchase, but I can say this time you're just way off 馃榾

I've just seen this one on ebay. Genuine as well? I'm trying to learn, so any response is much appreciated...
