I've got a 1958 Omega Rose Gold Seamaster... not many left after more than half a century.
Had a local watchmaker (not dealer) clean the thing and replace a broken spindle... he was like a kid in a candy shop when I showed it to him... as he had to take it all apart to clean it, which for him, was "an honor to work on such a piece".
He stated the same thing, for most watches, it's more cost effective to just replace the insides, but in my case, they were few of a kind, so it has to be completely taken apart to service.
OIC!
