路Hi guys, thanks for having me for my first post 馃榾
Today while going through a bulk lot of watches I purchased I came across this Seamaster Ref 136017, unfortunately it鈥檚 not running and since the case and dial are in such bad condition I would like to fix it myself. I鈥檓 still fairly new to the hobby so I just had a couple of questions.
Firstly I am going to need to get a replacement crystal and I first wanted to know how to know exactly which crystal it is that I need, and whether or not it鈥檚 worth trying to track down a genuine omega crystal.
Second I will need to try and track down some spare parts, most obviously the crown and probable stem. Since I鈥檓 new to the hobby I was just hoping for recommendations for the best online spare parts suppliers for vintage watches.
Thanks a lot in advance for any advice, I really look forward to bringing this rough but charming watch back to life 馃馃
