·My name is Joe and I just joined today, as I have renewed interest in my old Omega watch. I was given a Seamaster as a young boy, that was already pretty beat up from Dad.
I did take it to a local jeweler back in the 70's to send it out for a cleaning, and I remember buying a new crystal and new watch band for it.
I proceeded to ruin the back by attempting to open the back with needle nose pliers!- I was young and dumb.
I will try and post some pics. Serial number is 17726003, movement is a 562, model is 14701 3 SC. Best I can tell it is from 1959.
I was wondering if anyone can tell what the original strap looked like. I am thinking of going to a leather strap. The metal bracelet is missing one of the filler pieces that rest near the face, and the other one I have is pretty dented up.
I would like to do a new crystal, and get her back in shape.
Thanks for any advice
Joe
