Subject: [Leica] OT: Omega parts?

Ok - now I'm guilty of dragging things way off topic.

I have an Omega CK 2869 Seamaster (Cal. 501, late 1950s) that my wife  
gave me as a gift a couple of years ago (oddly, I just discovered that  
my grandfather has exactly the same watch...).

On this one - which has sentimental value but not enough for the  
$2,000 restoration that Omega USA quoted -  I need to replace the  
hands (radium has flaked off and the silver has tarnished)  and  
probably the dial (which was refinished at some point, but not to my  
compulsive standards - and without the radium dots at the tips of the  
markers - which I noted my grandfather's copy had).

Would anyone have a parts book that might shed some light on what the  
part numbers for the hands and dial are?

And failing that, could anyone recommend a shop that does quality dial  
refinishing?  I have friends in Switzerland, so it would not be a big  
problem to send it there if there is no such place in the United States.

Thanks!
Dante
