1968 Accurist Watch Movement

Thought I'd share as it's still a thing of beauty! I was wondering if servicing a watch this old would still be possible?

Maybe at first, but once you've had it for a few days / weeks it becomes second nature! I know it sounds cliche, but some of my watches are more for my own enjoyment as art rather than pure time telling!

ooooh I haven't seen this variant before!

That looks super neat I'm jealous!

It's definitely a sentimental repair over economic, it belonged to my grandfather from when he was overseas on deployment, I'd just like to get it looking healthy again really!

Definitely agree that the watch isn't particularly valuable, I think I'd rather keep what I can original purely for sentimental value, a few hundred £ or whatever it may be would probably be worth it for me personally. I realise that it's not economical or rational though!
