I have a Le Jour Diver watch from my father that I'm thinking about restoring. The bezel is stuck and does not rotate, the crystal has what appears to be stress cracks in it, it needs a band, the hand of one of the two smaller subdials has fallen off and I'm not sure it works at all. The one pictured is the same as the one I have, but the pictured one is in much better shape. It didn't cost me anything and I'm wondering if it's worth fixing. Any info or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

It's probably worth $300-350 in good running order, not too far off from the costs to fix it.

Thanks for the info. If it's close and it sounds like it is, I think that for me it's worth fixing then. Has some sentimental value as well.
