So, I took my 1960 seamaster to an Omega certified watchmaker. Asked hime to removed the movement so I could see it and the markings inside. He asked why and what I was going to do with the information. Well because I wish to know. Next I started to talk about what the watch needs. Well you need a new cystal and look the dial is water damaged. That's the crown, it wil need to be replaced. And of course he knew when it was last serviced, but I saw no markings on the caseback. What I did see was a 55 year old watch that the movement was mirror bright, a acrylic crystal that could be buffed out and a crown that is original to the watch.
So would you still be confident in this watchmaker? I will bave an estimate tommorow late afternoon. Wondering if there are better watch makers in Rhode Island that are honest and care about a vintage watch as much as I do.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Rob
