I'm new on this sub so don't know if this is allowed and tried the watch repair and vintage watch subs to no luck

This was my father's seamaster 600 which I want to keep, along with some kf the wear on the dial but want to stop any further damage of course.

I have also some knowledge on watch modding/repair but it's mainly digitals or quartz movemnts

It seems that the movement is fine and running accurately but I need help with:

Crown was replaced sometime which I was wondering if it's possible to source an appropriate steel crown (it came with a chrome plated brass one which is slowly discoloring). Where would I source one of these?

The gasket has gone on this and may explain the water ingress/damage to the dial. Where would I get a new one?

The minute hand has lost its lime, but hour still has it. Would it be worth reluming myself or just paying for a watch specialist to do this?

There are some brown marks on the edge of the dial, is this something to worry about or would I risk damaging the dial by trying to remove?

Thanks in advance

Been eyeing a Carrera for a while and was pleased with the aquaracer I had. However I'm looking at a dress watch and torn between the two. Would slide more towards 36mm for a dress watch (plus that green is *chefs kiss), however I didn't know if the 40(?)mm version was better quality or not?

Has anyone bought the han 36mm that could recommend? Thanks!

Seen this going for sale nearby and I am kinda liking the explorer style dial. However I have noticed the bent lug on the top but can try to reset it. But does anyone have any information on what movement this used, if it's Raketa or Vostok, and whether the case is steel or not? Thanks!

My challenge: g300L with Nylon strap. Quintessential 00s. Once saw someone say this must be a girls watch as it was too small (it has a 15mm height,l

Forgive the AI but mocked up the moonswitch I'm doing for the earthphase as I kinda vibe the blue/black/grey... Using the PD1701 as a donor for the case

However I cannot get the stem for the life of me, out of the PD1701 crown to get the PE50 in there. Has anyone else run into this problem? Tried to even use a tool to pry it out to no luck. Feels as if it's seized/glued in there at this point
