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.

Valjoux 72 parts can be pretty expensive.

Brave man that takes that on,bit of a basket case.

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"
