The gold one is quite special, and of the two it’s the one I’d most like to get sorted. No idea on the movements as I cant take the back off to check unfortunately.
£100 plus parts was what i was hoping it would cost; if you’ve got any tips as to where to take it that would be greatly appreciated

Alsal is the one that comes up most often. The stuff they've done for me in the past has been cheaper than I expected.

That’s roughly what my watchmaker guy in Swindon charges. His reputation is good enough the lead time is roughly a month on most watches. He, years back, repaired a 1930’s mechanical for me after it was dropped on concrete. He recently serviced the ladies omega for me, and as/when i get my own Omega it is going to him too.

That gold one has an absolutely superb dial. Cal 565 movement? Loose hands = canon pinion needs tightening. Get an Omega crown for it.
Steel one - I couldn’t live with that bent lug and would attempt to straighten it. May snap. Those small crowns are tough to wind, but it may have crud stuck inside it, be a tight fit... who knows.
I’d aim to see if you can find someone who will service them for around £100 plus parts. I say that, but I wouldn’t offer to do that myself as I often spend a whole day working on a single watch, and it’s just not worth my time.
