My Dad's 1972 model 1500 about to be overhauled.
I inherited this watch several years ago when my Dad passed. I am going to have it brought back to life. Comments, suggestions and, advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome...with your 1st post....
IMO,... being no expert, ..but if this is what it appears to be, the only way to be sure is to have it opened up by a qualified and knowledgeable watch maker to see the internals to determine authenticity and if you have any knowledge of the piece.
Hard to confirm much from these pics..but it's worth investigating if you're up for it...

Welcome. I'd do as little as possible to it, service, clean, polish plexi and fit a 7205 or 7835 19 mm bracelet. The dial is a less common Sigma (gold indices) version btw. Rgds

Thank you for your reply. I have confirmed authenticity and that the movement is 1570.
I have the original 7835 bracelet with 19mm ends #357. I intend to send the watch and bracelet to Rolliworks for a refresh. I look forward to sharing the "after" pics!
