Nice job, thanks for posting. There is something about seeing an Omega stripped to its component parts that never gets old, marvellous Swiss engineering.👍
Nice renovation, I’d say this watch was used and worn in a very high humidity environment but it still survived it well, good work putting some life back into it.
Yes, I use the same oil for all watches. I live in Japan so I use Citizen/Seiko oils (AO-2, AO-3, S-4, and S-6). For general hobby use, the minimum set will be a light oil (e.g., Moebius 9010) for jewels and medium/heavy oil (e.g., Moebius D5) for other metal pivots/contact points. For automatic movement, we also need a mainspring barrel breaking grease.
@@vintagewatchtinkerer I see a lot differing opinions on cal 1012. My examples are Cosmic 2000. I had difficulties finding a watchman to service them due to the odd case. I’ve learned that 1012 was discontinued in 1984. I got them back, and my obsession is sec/day running rate. They are both gaining around 1”/day. My Rolex 1570 has been running less than 2” per day for 12 yrs since last serving. However on the blogs so many seem to think 4-6”/day is ‘really good’. Love your channel. I’ve been binging on vintage watch rebuilds.
It is something like Evapo Rust. Since I live in Japan, I used a Japanese domestic market product, Engineer ZC-28 liquid rust remover. It is Ammonium thioglycolate-based solution and it does not contain acid and alkali.
Hey I have this watch it belonged to my grandpa, it has a missing winding stem and crown can you please help me I am from India and there is no omega service center here I just need the winding stem and crown where can I get it what size or part number is it Please help me
You can find a winding stem easily. The search keyword will be like "Omega cal 1012 Winding stem". Finding an original crown might be difficult. The part number must be "omega 42052". I wish good luck to you.
Very good restoration. Did I miss the fitting of the hacking lever? Something could have been done for the dial like how you restored the case. Nevertheless, a great video.

Amazing work, but, didn t you restore restore the shpere?.
Nice work..... Maybe some lume?
Just inherited one of these but the crystal is cracked. Any one know where to find one?
Can I know what oil/grease do you use on the movement and do you use the same type for every service or restoration?

20:24 is that a plastic part?
I have 2 SeaMasters cal 1012 in the shop now. What is the plastic part doing?
Yes, that is a plastic part to stop the balance wheel in the time setting mode.

I have the same watch cal. but mechanical wind isn't working? Is it hard to change that module?
It can be difficult because Omega doesn't provide module parts anymore. You'll need to find parts in Ebay.
What is the rust remover you use?
It is something like Evapo Rust. Since I live in Japan, I used a Japanese domestic market product, Engineer ZC-28 liquid rust remover. It is Ammonium thioglycolate-based solution and it does not contain acid and alkali.

I was able to find the winding stem but I couldn't gather any information about the crown size and model thank a lot
Could you also help me with knowing the diameter of the acrylic crystal
