I saw this bumper and thought the dial is in nice condition and the seller states it is original, but how complex will the repair be? How hard to get the parts?

You can't fix worn off gold unless you plate it. However, if you decide to buy it I have a spare bumper 35x movement that I could sell you for a good price if you need it.

 

Thanks for the info, I now see what you mean, the case is a mess in places, will drop the idea of this one

 

Good call. If you can snag yourself a few parts movements, then you can buy non-running fixer-uppers that are in otherwise fine shape and score a nice watch.
