·First of all, hello to all watch enthusiasts! I am glad to have found this forum. I love the hobby and am constantly learning something new. The high quality watches and tools are a lot of fun.
Now to my questions. I received the vintage Omega Seamaster (Case 135.011) pictured below as a present for a milestone birthday and would now like to refurbish it.
I don't know much about Omegas. Does everything seem to be original and model-specific for the experienced ones?
The main aim of the refurbishment is to restore some of the watch's original water resistance.
I noticed something on the crown. The case doesn't have a case tube. I can't find a seal on the crown either. The crown only has a small collar (made of metal) that presses into the crown when it is pushed into the wearing position.
Is there a tube missing from the case?
If a tube + new crown and winding stem are necessary for the revision, where can I obtain these (I am from Germany) and does anyone know the appropriate part numbers?
Many thanks in advance!
