After a long weekend of helping my mom move there was one last odd box that caught my eye.  Curious what was in it I opened it up to see a bunch of old jewelry that belonged to my grandfather who passed 20 years ago.  Inside were a bunch of vintage watches with two that were remarkable to a WIS. 

The first is a vintage Doxa Sub 300t.  It is in great condition.  It is the head only.  What would you do with this watch?  Freshen up or leave as is?  It is running very strong but could use a case polish and some paint on the bezel.  I love the bracelet in this picture, where would I source one like this.  The watch is the same as this except the back has the synchron logo on it as does the crown.



The second watch is a 1940s Clebar triple date moonphase chrono.  Beyond a couple of google searches I dont know much about this watch.  It is in incredible condition except the crystal is pretty scratched up.



Both of these pics were borrowed.  How easy is it to find replacement crystals.  As I dont have any vintage watches any input would be greatly appreciated.

Congratsparty.gif I would have freshen it up a bit, but it`s no goal that it should look like new IMHO.
