Re: 3) questions 1) my mother has a 1965 seamaster ..

: 1) it is gold. what would be its price?

No way to even begin to guess without knowing its specific model number and condition. Maybe $50, maybe $200, maybe $500. Please read the Chronocentric article in the OMEGA section titled "Tell Me About My Omega" to find out how to get a better answer.

: 2) would it most likely have glass, crystal, or
: acrylic?

For that era, the original crystal was most likely mineral glass. But if it has been it may have been replaced since then with something different.

: 3) Where can i get her a new band for this
: watch?

If it is a watch style that takes standard bands, you can get one at pretty much any store that sells watches. The only critical part is getting the correct width.
