·I was going through some old paperwork today and this dropped out of a bag. I bought it possibly as much as 25 years ago, long before I became interested in watch collecting. I vaguely remember that one day it was working, then it wasn't and it got put away and forgotten about. I hadn't seen it for ages and thought I must have sold it, so finding it obviously came as a pleasant surprise. I can move the hands round but the pushers have seized. I suspect that there's a Landeron 48 or 248 inside. There's some GP loss to the back, mostly near the crown and some on the opposite side. As befits a military watch, it has fixed bars. There's minor spotting to the dial.
My question is, what is the best thing to do with it? I have a couple of other chronos that I like more and don't see the need to keep this, but is it worth getting it running? Normally I would sell it as is, but as a military watch it presumably has some increased collectability. This is not a field I know and I would be grateful for any suggestions.
