路Hello Omega Forums members!
I am a new member and I must say I am impressed with the qualify of the content available from this community.
I am looking for help with a restoration of a 1960's Seamaster Deville which I bought for my small but growing collection. I also have a Panthere de Cartier, TAG Heuer Aquaracer, Rolex Datejust 16013 and a Hamilton Masterpiece "Thin-O-Matic". They are all in excellent operating condition with various levels of patina. So now it is time to get this Seamaster Deville restored and then I can find another project watch to work on 馃榾
Here are as many specifications on this watch as I can think of:
1. Model B6308
2. Caliber 670
3. Case diameter 31mm
4. 14K gold filled
5. 1960's apparent time of manufacture
6. 18mm between the lugs
7. Automatic
8. Runs and keeps fairly accurate time when wound and also runs automatically
My goals are:
1. I want to replace the crystal with a genuine Omega crystal which is the proper one for this watch. I don't know what it came with originally; whether it was sapphire, plastic, etc. You can see from the photo that the crystal is 29mm in diameter. It also has a "step" or ridge along its circumference. FYI, I have the gold ring and it's in good condition. So I just need the crystal. Is there a part number I should be searching for so that I make sure I order exactly the correct crystal?
2. I want to put an Omega brand leather strap on this watch. It does not have to be vintage. I would be happy if it is Omega-branded, leather and has the official Omega sign on the gold buckle. As long as it looks appropriate, is in excellent condition and is an Omega, I don't care too much when it was manufactured. Do you know of a good source for what I am looking for? I have seen fake Omega straps but I would never go for that. Any suggestions for where I can order this?
3. The crown is some kind of generic. I want to put the correct crown on this watch so it needs to be made by Omega with the Omega sign on it. Does anyone know what the part number is for this crown? I have seen many Omega crowns for sale online but I don't know exactly what to order.
I have attached several photos of the dial, caseback, inside of the case, movement and crystal.
So, the bottom line is that I need to source the Omega brand crystal, crown and strap. I greatly appreciate any guidance available for this.
Thank you,
Chris
