There is another rust bucket special for sale. Only needs about 1000USD in parts plus that again in labor costs. Looks like the movement is pretty well stripped.

I would expect at the repair cost you could likely pick up the same watch in good unabused condition.

But where's the fun in that?

So how much $ is the seller offering for someone to take it off his/her hands?

Looks like a watch one would find buried in the ground 75 years after a nuclear explosion.

That would bring new meaning to the term "Wrist cheese"
