I'd like to get my wife's old watch cleaned and back to new. Or at least as new as can be. Any idea how much it might cost? From what I can gather, the mechanics are fine (just needs a battery), but there's a diamond or two missing. They're very small diamonds, so I'm thinking/hoping it won't be too costly. Any idea what goes into this and what it might cost?

For all the clever OTer's, I've already ruled out three fifty, unfortunately.

I came into possession of a 50 yr old Rolex upon my uncle’s death. Had it rebuilt for about $2k. Great timepiece . Do it

You could buy another one of the same quality for $75 on Canal street.

Fakes aren't worth working on.

Watch is fake a frick.

Shitty magnified date bubble is a dead give away, among other things.

I got a battery changed in a Tag at Shreve, Crump, and Low. I should have just bought a new watch. Those gurgling swan pitchers they have are cool though.

Unless it has sentimental value, swapping the diamond bezel for a regular one would update the watch.
