Granddad's Watches :: Vintage Omegas
Hi,
First post so please go easy ... don't know much about watches that is why I am here:
I inherited these two years ago and they sit in a draw; I am currently wearing the round one as my Zenith is in for service.
This pricked my interest so I have done some homework but still have a few questions.
Here they are:

The round one on the left has this inside/back:

So I know:
Reference 165.002
Serial Number: 22199381 (1965 - http://www.pocketwatchrepair.com/histories/omega.html)
Movement: Type: Automatic (mechanical)
Caliber number: 552 24 jewels Created in 1958
Case: Stainless steel with 40micron gold plate
Case back: Screw-in
Crystal: Armoured hesalite
Bracelet: leather
Water resistance: 30 meters
But if I put that model number in this page none match up:

here is another shot of the gold one; at a certain angle the face really glitters:

here are the insides:

With this one if I put that model number in I don't get anything like what it is ...
I get this:

Also - I can't find a serial number?
So my main questions are:
Do I need to service these to preserve them? or are they fine just kept in storage?
Can I buy a genuine replacement leather strap from Omega for the round one or are you at the mercy of eBay?
Where is the serial number on the gold one?
What are they worth?
