<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 497029, member: 5833&quot;]You may as well look into it.&nbsp; The place I use takes the watch &amp; gets back to me with a price quote for the repair, giving me the opportunity to then decide whether or not to proceed.&nbsp; Sometimes a good cleaning is the main need.&nbsp; Do hope you have someone who will at least give you an honest estimate, so you don&#039;t get a nasty surprise.&nbsp; Mine also gives a 3 month warranty if they get a watch running &amp; will have another go if it conks out in that time.&nbsp; But grandma&#039;s watch was declared beyond hope after several attempts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is very similar to mine.&nbsp; Can&#039;t read the maker&#039;s name on yours, but can tell it looks longer than &#039;Crown&#039;, which is what is on mine.&nbsp; Mine has Roman numerals, but also 5, 10, 15, etc., in red around the edge &amp; a separate second hand.&nbsp; The design on the case of mine is simpler.</p><p><br /></p><p>Watches that are made to hang as pendants typically have the 12 opposite the stem.&nbsp; On yours &amp; mine, the two are at right angles, so think they were intended as pocket watches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
