Welcome, a nice watch, and as other have said any one would be lucky to find such a watch for 30 GBP - you might be in for a surprise if and when you get a quote for a service. You will find it far exceeds the initial price of the watch, and should plan to pay several times that.

That being said if your intent is to sell it as you seem to suggest, many people recommend seling as is— because many collectors like to pick their own repair person.
Also you should note you cannot sell here, at least not until you’ve spent some time participating meaningfully in forum discussions.
You should check the rules on the sales forum.
Best regards

Hey @LotusRallyman did anyone mention we like photos, particularly of cars, even more so of Lotus Cortinas -- or should they be "Consul Cortina developed by Lotus"? Not sure of the plural of that 😵‍💫

Some of the lotus cortina's I have built or look after. As for the name during the life cycle of Lotus cortinas several iterations of names as in the beginning Lotus built the cars, then Ford started doing them in house.

Thanks for your kind words and advice, I don't have any ambitions to sell the watch, just treat it well and enjoy it.
