Thanks for the response Derek! If I found a 562 movement like the one that is in the watch now, whould it be considered a "frankenwatch"? You said that you sent your watch to Omega.ch, where is Omega.ch? Do you have their address? Thanks Gregg
: I had a 1950's Seamaster with some rust in the
: movement. In 1999, I sent it to Omega.ch,
: but they wouldn't touch it because they no
: longer had all the parts they wanted in
: order to send it back to me in the sort of
: perfect condition on which they pride
: themselves. I don't know if they would have
: removed rust.
: I sent it to "my" watchmaker who
: removed the rust and did whatever he thought
: necessary and the watch is functioning
: perfectly again. I hope it will go on doing
: so, but of course there's no guarantee with
: such an old watch for which parts are no
: longer available.
: If possible, I would keep the existing movement
: otherwise your watch would become a less
: valuable "frankenwatch" !
