Zaf, First off, what a great website and pubic service you provide. I stumbled in today doing some research and was knocked out by your dedication to the art.

Looking at this specimen do you see a possible restoration project of value? Best regards,

9k gold, 1950’s-60’s vintage with marking inside of case; GENEVA R ROLEX SWISS 117 9C 0,375 9183

I think it will depend on how much you paid for it. I think this will be a circa $300 restoration at the very mininimum since you will need to refinsh the dial and completely service the movement. There appears to be some rust on the movement, so it may need some parts to be replaced. If you need to buy movement parts (if they are available) you may need to add another $100-175. Again, these are rough estimates, but I'm just trying to give you an idea.
