Dates to about 1947, dial has been repainted, ballpark value is $800. Add $100 if it is a screwback case. The dial repaint is really hurting the value on this one, it looks too different from what it should look like. |

Thanks for the info Zaf. Any chance of getting an original dial? If so, how would that affect the value? |

No chance, but you can send it to a redialler that can do a much better job. |

Again, thanks for the info. Since I plan to sell the watch, if the dial was restored to original, how would that affect its value? |

It would add ~$100, the cost of doing a proper job. |
