I figured that an amateur touching the internals would be a major mistake, but the research I've done into my watch has actually sparked my interest in the hobby/trade. I may look into further learning and maybe a less valuable first practice piece. One last round of questions; where might I look to find a local or willing repair person? Would shipping it to someone be the best choice? Shot in the dark, would you be interested?<br /><br />-Thanks again,<br />CPSSlashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453533440704928432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-16943809870804901212017-03-17T14:49:35.215-07:002017-03-17T14:49:35.215-07:00You can get an overhaul done for less than $100. ...You can get an overhaul done for less than $100. $20 for the correct crystal is fine. Working on it yourself would be a huge mistake. Watch movements are unforgiving. You can certainly learn how to do it but you're not likely to be successful on your very first try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716611548858406897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-6096426608055361922017-03-16T19:15:59.677-07:002017-03-16T19:15:59.677-07:00Hey,

I was wondering if I could ask some questions with regards to the possible restoration of the watch. Mainly, what would be a fair cost for a cleaning and overhaul similar to what you did? And I found a new old stock original crystal for sale for $20, is that a good price? And I should avoid working on this watch myself since I have no experience, right? Thanks in advance.
