Hey guys, I'm in Manila right now on some business and R&R, had dinner with relatives, my uncle and I got to talking watches. He pulls out this family heirloom and said he wanted to have it working again. RSC can no longer service it. Here are some pictures:

Was wondering if you guys could point us in the right direction as to where we can have the watch fixed? Also any information regarding the model / bracelet / history of the watch model would be highly appreciated. The piece looks like it has a very interesting story to tell. Cheers guys and looking forward to your comments.

Nice looking head..........but not sure about the bracelet!

Most of these turn out to be not that valuable, all things considered.

Try Bob Ridley, in Texas. You can search his name endlessly on this site.

Parts may be the issue though...

get it cleaned at a good watchmaker and enjoy as-is. not worth spending big bucks to fix it up.

Will be restored for sentimental reasons, so a return on investment is really a non-issue..

Bob Ridley at Watchmakers International ( www.Watchmakers.com )is worth a phonecall to.

He is a Rolex Watch Restortion Expert and well respected in the Vintage community..
