Vintage Patek - Should I RESTORE?
I just picked up this piece at a petty reasonable price. It is a whopping 37m 2481. Dial is severely spotted! Not sure really what the spot are. Also the inside of the case is got gunk in it. Is the a watch you would send back to PP for restoration?? I have sent a couple back in the past and I am amazed at the condition they come back. I love everything about this watch - it's size, center secs, hands, markers...Would I be killing the value? or perhaps enhancing the value?Let me know what you think!
