Getting back to the original question, just wondering if with this amount of damage, it is worth fixing, or would it make more sense to start anew?

Anyone willing to guess at a ball park dollar estimate, (best case/worst case) without knowing what is inside? Present value in its' current state?

Presumably, to have it like new again (if that is possible), it must be sent back to RWC, due to the dial replacement.
Would they install the most current dial, or would they have a NOS dial sitting on the shelf?
Would they install any Sub dial you request, that they have in stock? i.e. a blue or green one for instance.
Would my modifications to the bracelet (hat pins to hold it together) cause a problem with their acceptance to work on it?

Upon closer inspection the crystal has cracking internally between the 33 & 38 minute mark, so it looks like the case and the movement are the only parts that can be refurbished.
The actual extent of internal damage is still a mystery.
