Vintage Omega Seamaster in need of movement maintenance (and straps)

Spruce

Welcome to OF.

Nice watches and worth sorting out.

If you post where you are, someone will be able to recommend a reliable watch repairer near you who knows what he or she is doing. Don’t take it to your local mall.

So far as the crystals are concerned, if you look carefully in the centre, if there’s an 'omega' etched in the glass, it’s an original crystal and worth keeping so you’ll need to polish the crystal.

For straps, I’d get a couple of nice leather 18mm on eBay to start with. They’ll cost you £10-15 or so. You can always upgrade when you decide what style you prefer

Thanks, I’ll give them a call. Is MJ watch service a good option as well? https://www.mjwatchservice.com/

Hi we never take chances with our collection and always use George. You will not be disappointed and his prices are very reasonable. He has been in business at the same location for decades.

The general idea is that the repairer looks at the watch, tells you what’s wrong with it, or what needs doing, or what parts need replacing or what your various options are and you either give the go ahead or decline.

A bit like taking your car to a mechanic or getting a plumber round.
