    Hi,
    I inherited an Omega Constellation 2648 watch from my dad who inherited the watch from her father. The watch is working great but I've been thinking about servicing it and I have the following questions in case some of you can help me out:
    1.- Do you know if there are parts available for this watch?
    2.- I live in Raleigh NC, do you know a reputable watch maker in the area who can service the watch?
    3.- If the watch is working well should I service it?
    I'm attaching some photos of the watch. I really appreciate your help with my questions!
    Thanks,

    Nice watch but it looks more like 2852 or maybe a 2782 than a 2648 due to the dial size and bezel.

    Thanks for your comment. I forgot to add that I'm not sure about the model #. I just saw a similar picture on the internet that had that model number. So according to you it's a 2852 or maybe a 2782. Any info about parts or service? thanks again!

    For a watchmaker proficient in vintage Omega in won't be a problem. I'd expect a calibre 354 if it's a 2782 or a 501 or a 505 if it's a 2852. Do you have a picture of the case back? All these if it is a snap back, if it is a screw back then it could even be an elusive 2887, although I haven't seen one with a waffle dial ( yet )

    Anyway, parts are beginning to become an issue for vintage Omega but a good vintage watchmaker will possibly/hopefully have a stash and/or a parts account. Some parts are hard to find ( chronometer inscribed rotors for instance ) so then Ebay and parts watches come in handy

    Greetings. I live in Wake Forest, so depending on where in Raleigh you are I’d recommend a place called Clocktiques. The owner is very knowledgeable and thorough, and I’ve taken several of my vintage pieces there for repair or service.
