Is this worth saving?

USA Jubilee, early 70's.

I was lucky, it just gave a small sigh and slid off my wrist onto a cushion on the sofa. Lucky, lucky, lucky...an hour earlier I was on my motorcycle blasting out of London.

What d'ya think?
Would the resale value make the cost of a full overhaul, viable?

Restore now or just keep in drawer for a few years or whenever down the road you feel like fixing it

It's been in a drawer, for 20 years.

Who's the best UK bracelet specialist?
Anyone any idea of the 'referb' cost?
