Dad’s 1969 Seamaster 168.024/166.010 Cal. 564

Thank you all for your help, I’m really appreciate! I live in Canada and came visit my dad in Taiwan, so I figure I’ll get the watch repair here since it will be cheaper than in Canada.

One more question, for date adjustment, is it the same for all mechanical watch that, you can’t adjust date during 9pm to 3am range? Does it apply to all vintage Omega?

And what was the MSRP for a 1969 Omega Seamaster at the time?

Thank you @wagudc for the 168.024 story and history

Turkey, the service includes a balance spring correction as well, I only prefer this method when the spring has issues and remove hands/dial myself and just bring the movement in. I quoted $15-20 - but the actual cost was $5-10, however I assume it's $15~ ish now with some fx corrections. They also can replicate watch crystals with resin for $5 and the result is just incredible. My brother last brought a Seiko in, a gift from me, highly patinated, he was complaining that the watch no longer had a patina and looked like new when he got it 😁

He's a generational watchmaker, learned the trade from his father but his kids didn't continue. If the current fifth column government didn't prevent postal service to suffocate small trades, it would make some sense to post rough watches to Turkey to get Fascinating about Turkiye prices. I've many happy memories of working and vacationing in Turkiye. A good weekend to you.
