    From the listing: "This watch is NOT RUNNING and is being sold AS IS.................It looks like it may need to be cleaned..................Watch is in good condition." :confused:

    At best, I would say the watch is in poor condition.

    Unless you are a watchmaker with some extra 601 parts at hand, you are in for some $$$$ in restoration.

    I think it just look filthy but condition does not feel as bad as it looks. Prob just a new stem if lucky.

    Yes it's on ebay. I do know a watchmaker who could restore it and I would be willing to spend the money but wanted to make sure the dial looks good. The 120 seemed funky at first but now I'm thinking it looks correct. Probably just the crystal and angle. I'm hoping it cleans up as nice as I think it will. It's definitely a gamble.

    Raimond Irimescu at Paul's Watch Repair in Sacramento California. He's reasonable too ;).

    ***Do not use this watchmaker, PM for details***

    Duly noted(literally in a note in my phone). However it is quite a trip from Buffalo NY, but for skills like that could be worth it.
