This watch belonged to my grandfather and was damaged in a house fire. I just need to know if it is worth having it repaired. Any information would be appreciated.    | ||

A nice one of these is worth aorund $4000, so yes, I think it is worth repairing. We can do it if you'd like, but witht he extent of the rust, it's more of a project than a standard service. Do you still have the hands? | ||

I think it's going to be something in the $1000 range in total, including the dial refinish, hands, serice, etc. It depends you many parts it will require and the extent of the rust. | ||

Who do i need to contact about having it repaired? Is there somewhere that i can go to check to price worth of the watch once it is repaired? | ||

Hi, you can send the watch to me and I can run it by my watchmaker. The dial refinish takes a VERY LONG time, be warned. What do you mean check the price? You can check antiquorum.com for auction results, they probably have one in their database. |
