I bought this, it is in need of service and the hands are damaged, it is missing one chrono hand, it has a Valjoux 72 movement..

Wha to do? i didnt know that the hands was damaged, i only knew about the movement in need of service.
Is it hard to find hands? where to search?
How much could it be worth like it is?

Thank you

 

IMO a good watchmaker who specializes in restoration could easily resolve the missing minute register and do an color matched fill on the hands. Handsome watch. Is the missing lume what you refer to as damage?

 

Yes missing lume

 

Easily correctable by a skilled watchmaker. Or ,,, Leave it. Look at the new JLC masters ...

 

You don't need new H/M hands. Just new non glowing lume.

 

ok, where to find the missing hand ?

 

Pretty much straight forward restoration for a good watchmaker.

 

YOU don’t need to do anything. Find a restoration. Watchmaker and they can source and fix. A subdial hand is easy.

 

ok thank you

 

Now it is back from the watchmaker. Now it is a hard decition if it will stay or go? I am very happy with it and it is a very nice watch, maybe to small for my 19cm arms..

 

I hope that chrono hand is just there because it's paused and doesn't remain there all the time...

 

Yes, saw that now

 

$9300 am i missing something here is this the same type of watch?

What do you think , how much could mine be worth?

 

Dont know If I would be happy with the relume job. Can be the pictures but to yellow for me.
Nice watch do!

 

Do you think it is better to just sell it like it is , lumejob can be redone, the one on ebay sold unserviced

 

yes put it on ebay, you will get what it is worth and don't relume it as the buyer can decide what to do with it.

 

Seems you made up your mind and will not keep it. Sell it as is. I would not put any additional money in it.

 

What could be the value of it?

 

put it on ebay and see
