I wear and old Seamaster from the 60's almost daily, great watch. Sounds like a great family heirloom and a classic worth restoring to a high standard. Congrats. It's getting harder to get work done like this outside of the factory route due to all of the swiss brands pulling back on parts availability but a good local watchmaker might be able to do it without sending it to the factory. I sent an old Jaeger-Lecoultre to the factory and paid a mint to have it redone but it came back looking like new.
