Re: While on the subject of advice - 2447S 2nd exec thoughts

: Looks like it's had a bit of a hard life but honest too.

Thank you for the reply, Mark. I know that example is in very rough condition, especially as compared to the impressive examples owned by many on this forum, but I thought I'd share to spur some conversation. I'm always curious as to "how cheap" might make it worth it to take on something that needs a bit of work, as it provides a good opportunity to gain entry to a watch I want at a much lower price of admission.

Another for conversation- it's tough to tell the condition of the dial on this one, but it appears that most of the imperfections might be on the crystal itself. The chapter ring could be re-aligned at time of crystal replacement, but the real wild card is how difficult and expensive it would be to source a new (correct) pusher, something I haven't been able to find much info on, any thoughts there? Or, anything else that jumps out?
