·Hi,
Very impressed by the knowledge on this site!!! I've worn the Speedmaster in the photos below for about 30 years now and really want a full restoration on it. It was my fathers and he bought it, as I understand in the mid/late 60's (if anyone can ID exactly what model it is, it would be appreciated!). I assume it is a "pre-moon" as the case back does not have the "moon" embossing on it. The band is incorrect as the original leather one was worn through years ago. Would also like to add the correct metal one. I love the watch, always have, it has served me flawlessly for decades and it is time for a full, proper and professional restoration. After he passed in the 90's, I replaced my personal "Bond Type" Seamaster I bought in Dubai when I was stationed in the Middle East during the 1980's and subsequently gave it my son, as it was my "war watch" just before he went in the military. I took it to the Omega Store in NYC last year for info on a restoration and, just wasn't comfortable with what I was told. Being it would have to be treated as a "Haz-Mat" due to the Tritium (I assume) in the bezel even though it is long dead for "glow".
Second if it is not too much to ask, any info on the Gold Seamaster Automatic? That was also my fathers and I recall he purchased that in the early 70's. I don't wear it, far too "Leisure Suit" for my tastes and doesn't look like any Seamaster I've ever known.
