I had my grandfather's 70's era Omega seamaster quartz repaired as a gift for my dad on father's day. My grandpa wore it every day swimming at the pool in his condominium complex. With a pull out crown, as you can imagine, there was some water damage. The dial was spotted but decent, and the hands virtually pristine. My watch maker had to replace the movement with a working engine from Omega. I'm not sure if it was NOS or from a donor. Glass was replaced and case left untouched. My father never wore a watch before from what I recall, but every time we go out to dinner I see him rockin' it. I won't say the service was cheap, but it was worth it to me.
