thanks again for all your nice comments,its led me to write a bit about what i am hoping to have done to the watch,so here goes:
a full service,a new tube,and possibly the winder as the threads have deteriorated to the point where they cant screw up anymore (as you can see from the pictures),full clean and polish of the metal,and new glass,i also wanted the dial restored,but its in pretty good condition,so hopefully it needs a careful clean.
I have no idea of the cost yet (til monday of course,fingers crossed),we could all have guesses,mine is going to be £450,shot in the dark!(thats about $681
INFO TO GUESS THE PRICE
shop is a privately owned store,running for three generations in the picturesque town of abergavenny south wales,i used to work there 15 years ago,selling all kinds of lovely watches,they have sent the watch to a rolex trained watch maker/repairer they use for all their rolex repairs,i know no more than that sorry.
