Hi guys.
Thanks for the quote.
I have a couple of questions if I may.
£984 is a lot of money to spend bringing a watch up to its former glory. Sentimentally worth every penny but what will the watch be worth once renovated in your opinion? It was my grandfathers watch so wont be sold but I don't want to put money into the project if the watch will only be worth half of what I am putting into it. I'm sure it wont but need the expertise of yourselves to ease my mind.
Will all the authenticity be kept once the watch is finished? This is important to me, as I'm sure yourselves, and I don't want to loose this.
The strap attached to the watch can be scrapped. This was used by my father and has no purpose whatsoever going forward. I asked if the strap could be replaced with an original on the slip I returned with the watch but your quote doesn't mention this? It does however state bracelet worn? Could you clarify what this means please.
You quote an optional dial restoration. What does this entail? If its not critical to the watch I could possibly put this money into a strap?
I need this to be right. My father passed the watch to myself and I want to do the watch justice.
I appreciate your time in helping make this achievable and am excited to hear back from you.
Many thanks,
Paul.
Could I have made it any clearer?
