I got Doxa’d today - pursue it as a project?

DaveK

Hi all,

So I had the watch looked at and learned that the hairspring needs repair and the setting bridge needs replaced. The watch is Doxa cal 1147, and starts running upon pick up, so it seems to want to live. Are donors or parts generally available for these, or might this be a money pit to pursue as a project? I’m saving up for something special, and don’t want to get too deep. Anyone have experience with these? Thanks in advance for your guidance 👍

Dave, I love that dial. It has some character. I wouldn't try to find a better case, I'd just wear that one as a nice beater.
