·Hello fellow Omega enthusiasts,
I'm facing an issue with my vintage Seamaster Caliber 562 (166.002 from the 1960's).
When I'm trying adjusting the hour the crown and hands gets stuck between 6:53 and 9:48. The second hand is running but I can't adjust beyond these two bounds. I haven't applied any force to it and adjusted it back so the small reserve won't go beyond the 9:48 point as I'm afraid it might break something.
What kind of issue am I facing here ? Which part might need replacing and might it be expensive ? I'm kinda fond of my vintage Omega but as this watch is barely worth a couple hundreds of dollars/euros, very expensive servicing seems pointless.
Here's a video displaying the issue at... hand (pun not intended).
Any advice ? Thanks a lot ;-)
