Striking design. Rolex also has a meteorite face watch no?

I'm not sure about Rolex but I believe Zenith does.

Some cool pieces from a Canadian company (although the watches are Swiss made).

I received a 50's vintage Gruen Ocean Chief watch as a teenager.
Wore it daily until the late 80's so shows the wear.
Anybody have "great" results having old vintage watches repaired / rebuilt.
Parts will be an issue.
Would like to keep it in the family.

That sounds like a good option to check out. I think there was a Toronto repair shop as well posted earlier in the thread but I haven't search for it.

Has anyone had an older quality watch appraised for value as well as it's condition?
Not a large number production watch so rarer.
And who did you go with. Better to get a quote before getting it repaired since it is all original at present.
Local watch maker said he wasn't comfortable in a quote since not too many were made and he was not familiar with their values.
Would Oliver be a good option?

I've used this place to do work on my Omega. They may be able to offer an appraisal.
