Thanks for your input!

: First off, $250 seems a little high for a dial refinish on an
: uncomplicated dial like that one. Second, typically a dial
: refinish will decrease the value to a collector, but your piece
: is not what I would consider a desirable collector piece such as
: a vintage Seamaster or a Speedmaster or Ploprof. It is however a
: vintage watch and it really depends on whether you like the
: vintage look or would rather a "new" look.

: Tough call. I personally would leave it as is, just have them clean
: it. If you want to refinish it later you can send it yourself to
: one of the dial refinish houses. The cost will probably be $50
: to $100.

: Good luck with it
