·Hi all,
Several year ago my wife inherited her grandmothers watch. I’ve done quite a bit of research over the last few years and I would love to able to restore this for her 45th birthday next year for her to have an heirloom/dress watch.
the watch:
Omega Automatic
Model number 561.007
Caliber 671
Case size 23mm X 23mm
Dial size 20mm X 20mm
Lug width 18mm
Pics:

Obvious water corrosion. Movement runs as is but will need full service. Crystal has scratches but no cracks and if unable to find a replacement this one should clean up.
Now for the dial. It is suffering from significant water damage and I’ve searched hi and low for a replacement. Any good suggestions on where I might be able to source one?
I’m in the Southern California LA/Orange County area and I need some recommendations on a watchmaker who could take this on in a very economical way. Like watches I’ve found are around $400-$700.
pictures of like examples I was able to find:

Really I’m just looking for a little direction of who could do the work or who might be able to source parts. So any help is appreciated.
Thanks all.
