Yup. From my experience in this space, top dollar goes to pristine, especially this model. Now, is it unattractive?Hell No. It’s great wabi sabe. Your initial question was cost benefit. If you plan to keep it as a fun piece, get it done. If it’s a flip, sell as is. Were it mine, a movement service and the hour counter sub hand That’s it. Pretty sure I could get that done well under a grand. ( if the hour counter hand is there, disregard) then this is a 4-500 service at my watchmaker.
