Greetings!
I recently acquired (At no cost) a Ladies Geneve Turler, Calibre 620. The serial number dates it to 1969. Watch is in running condition but is in desperate need of overhaul. I have no connection to it but like the watch nonetheless.

Is it worth the cost and bother to have it overhauled? I’m guessing it will be about $400+ for the overhaul work. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

With no personal/sentimental connection to the watch, no it doesn't make financial sense to spend that kind of money on this watch which will be worth less than half that even serviced.

I like 'em. I self service my watches so the service costs it time and parts.

They are fairly small watches. 620 is an 18mm movement. Basic with no sweep or seconds. I got one recently for 3 bucks. A missing screw cost 10USD. Repair/assembly time an evening, about 3 or 4 hours.

As noted such watches are often included as sweeteners in job lots.

The movement is also used in some of the lower end men's dress watches.

I wish I had the knowledge, time, tools and patience to work on my own.

thanks for the replies. I guess I’ll sit on it for a bit.
