Vintage Enicar Gents Swiss Watch Prior and After Restoration

See the difference prior and after restoration. I am always asked how much should I pay for restoration. It is a very difficult question to answer, pending on its availability of the parts and the skill of a watchmaker. Unfortunately, both are hard to come by these days. In Singapore, when you approached the retail shops be prepared to pay a few hundreds. It is sad because it basically deters the hobby of watch collecting.

Here is the picture prior to restoration:


The watch is not working at all. The watch crystal is worn and the crown is worn out as well.

Finally, a good clean up with a new crown, watch crystal and leather strap.
