1960's Seamaster 300 - please help

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

The watch is missing a band and I have heard mixed reports about the original band/bracelet that came with the watch. Some people say an SS style, while others say a "jubilee" is more appropriate.

A third person indicated that the original band was "crap" and I would look for a better quality omega band.

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).

If anyone has one, or knows where I can get one, I'd appreciate it.

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

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?

Thanks for your time and consideration

Please help... Brian
