In my opinion, this is the right advice. It will be worthwile to get them serviced, and especially the one that is not currently working. A broken Sebring may sell at a 60% discount (or even more), so getting it fixed (or learning that it cannot be fixed) will be a good investment. I also agree that you must be very careful about any cosmetic changes / restoration / re-touching. Get them cleaned and running, but I would not touch the dials . . . reluming the hands is OK, if done very carefully by a good watchmaker.
