    It says Pavel Bure on the dial. Russian watch factory found by Carl Bure back in 1874.Pavel became his worthy successor and opened watch factory in Le Locle in 1899.

    In NJ where could I bring it to have it repaired?
    Is it worth repairing or same value in scrap, not working.
    It was a family friend who passed and If I sell or buy it I need to Write a Check.
    ALL $ the estate raises goes 100% to ALS Research,
    her husband Died of ALS in the late 80's.

    Any help Appreciated

    Strictly speaking, not worth repair. However, a lovely vintage piece that for sentimental value worth it for a special woman in your life. I can't help you with a New Jersey watchmaker but I would consider getting it serviced and then donating (if you can afford it) the service cost to ALS.

    I have 2 options...sell it, scraping gold, diamonds, parts etc, or fix and sell it...either way all the $ goes directly to ALS.
    Or get a value, same senaio, as is or fixed, and donate my own $ to ALS
    Either way same $ amount in going to ALS.
    I sell for a living, and typically take a %, but because of the nature of this situation I'm donating my % as well.

    Again thanks for any help
