For the answer to the NUMBER #1 most frequently asked question here--for details or value of a specific older Omega watch you have--go to: Tell Me About My Omega. | Learn more about How To Include Photos and HTML In Your Postings. | To contact someone with a question not relevant to other readers of the forum, please click on their email address and contact them privately. |
Not sure what you are thinking when you say "factory type repairs" as all of the items you mention can easily be done by any watch repair shop. Just specify that they use original Omega parts.
You did not mention where on the planet you are, but I'll guess from your AOL email address that you are in the USA. You can send the watch to the factory service center in Lancaster Pennsylvania or the one in Switzerland. For details on servicing, see theh customer service section of the official Omega site at:

But unless you need anything fancier than you mentioned, a reputable local watch repair shop or authorized Omega dealer should be able to serve you fine. If you go through an Omega dealer, make sure they are factory *authorized* to sell Omega. Not all places that sell Omega watches are authorized dealers, so may not send your watch to a properly trained or certified Omega repair person.
The bracelet will likely be expensive, though. Replacement Speedmaster bracelets tend to cost US$ 300-400. That's probably what you paid for the whole watch back in 1967. You might be able to find one for less through The Watchseller--just make sure to ask enough questions to be sure you are buying the right bracelet that was original to your specific model watch. Best to have the watch's model number handy when asking or ordering.
Good luck!
