·Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum so I apologize if these types of questions have been answered a lot. Either way, I'm sure people enjoy sharing their knowledge.
Attached is a picture of the Seamaster that I received from my grandpa––who received it from his dad.
Basically, I'm just trying to get it running but I want to make certain that whoever I send it off to doesn't mess with the dial or any part of the vintage appeal that it has.
I'm from Michigan so can anyone recommend a place––preferably in the US––to have the movement serviced and maybe to replace the crystal (if that isn't considered a bad idea in keeping it true to vintage).
I guess the bottom line would be:
What should I avoid when getting it serviced so as to not ruin it's vintage-ness?
Where would be a good place to get the movement serviced? I've been told doing it through Omega will cost a fortune and they might replace the dial and polish the case.
Thanks for the advice and thanks for welcoming me into the community!
