Mechanical electroplated ladies Cartier tanks usally go for $300-400, less if beat up, more if pristine. | ||

Would it be worth the service, replate and New dial??? Thanks ZAF. | ||

With Cartier, no. They may charge you more than the watch is worth. If you have an independent shop, that is much cheaper, yes. I can do it, but I don't do dial work. | ||

Thanks ZAF for the info. What would be a rough estimate on the cleaning, oiling, and with regards to the plating? I could probaly find a dial for cheap. I would restore this for my personal collection. With regards to resale I see what you mean. Let me know, Thanks sincerely. | ||

If it is a staight forward service, i.e. no hairspring work, no rust and no missing parts, we usually charge $125-150. The plating, I'd need to see it first. |
