  Dates to about 1947, dial has been repainted, ballpark value is $800. Add $100 if it is a screwback case. The dial repaint is really hurting the value on this one, it looks too different from what it should look like. |

  Thanks for the info Zaf.  Any chance of getting an original dial?  If so, how would that affect the value? |

  No chance, but you can send it to a redialler that can do a much better job. |

  Again, thanks for the info.  Since I plan to sell the watch, if the dial was restored to original, how would that affect its value? |

  It would add ~$100, the cost of doing a proper job. |
