It's a watch that is very sensitive to condition, especially the dial. So, anywhere from $1600 to $2500.

Thank you Zaf,
Is worth spending the money to have it restored?
And what would it be worth restored?
Thanks
John

It depends what you mean by restored. If you can locate an un-repainted dial (good luck) then yes. If it's a matter of repainting the existing dial, you'd probably actually harm the value of the watch...do NOT do that.
