1. Where can I get it serviced, and what can I expect to be done to such an old watch?

2. What about the bracelet, it has done its duty...what will a real one vs. a fake one cost and will the after market one be just as good?

3. I want to keep it...for sentimental reasons, still a handsome machine but if it is working adequately will the expense just be that, not an investment but an expense.



Try East Coast Jewelry....I have done business with them since 1992.  I have my Rolex, cartier and Breitling serviced there and the charge for a full service has never exceeded $200.  I believe they employ at least 9 Swiss trained watchmakers.
