Watch update
So i just got some sad news from my watch guy. He sent me close up pictures of the badly worn out electronic components of the watch. I would gladly add them if anyone is interested in seeing them. He suggested i sell the watch for parts.
I had considered buying a cheaper version of a space view or a regular 214 model watch and swapping out the movements. I fear i could find myself in the same situation.
I have decided to see what it would cost to get this one restored. I am sure it will not be cheap.
Not sure if its against the rules, if not and someone knows who can do this type of restoration and might be reasonably priced the recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to say thanks to all for your advice, information and most of all your patience.
