Lots of knowledgeable watch folks here, looking for advice!
I paid a little over scrap for this piece. Not sure if it's collectible or worth trying to have it repaired. It's missing the 6, the hands and the wrist band at least. The movement works however...ticks and is beautiful to watch in action after a couple winds.
It's neat it has the box, but seems like a large investment ($1k+?) to get it back together again I'd say.
I had never even heard of this brand, according to the serial number and this site this watch would have been made right in the middle of WW2.

What do you think...Scrap or Restoration Project?
Thanks!
