They're:

- Cleaning up and oiling the mechanism
- Polishing the body
- Polishing the glass (get rid of the scratches)
- Changing the seals

Sorry for my bad english, not into the clock vocabulary yet. ;)

I suppose the -66 SUBMARINER is relatively rare?

Ps. caliber 390, ref. 7928
Looks like a great piece - I would suggest you ask in the Vintage forum but everything you stated looks good with the possible exception of polishing the case - sometimes polishing removes too much metal that you can't get back ;)

I would suggest not to change the hands / dial / crown if at all possible - good luck
