Re: 1960's Seamaster 300 - please help

In Response To: 1960's Seamaster 300 - please help ()

: I have an Omega Automatic Seamaster 300
: (1960's).

Congratulations!

: I measured the connection points and it appears
: to be 21mm (although, not knowing enough
: about watches, I do not know if this means a
: 20 or 21mm bracelet).

I have not seen a 21mm, probably it is 20mm. Remember, you are measuring what will fit BETWEEN the lugs.

: Second, the watch says automatic, yet it also
: winds by hand? Which is it?

Virtually all automatics also wind by hand.

: Finally, The watch works fine, however, it has
: some corrosion and major scratches on the
: crystal. How much can i expect to pay for
: these types of repairs?

Crystal replacement is usually pretty inexpensive, likely between $35 and $75. Corrosion? That would need someone to look and see if it can simply be cleaned off or if there is real metal damage.
