Beautifully expressed and very informative, I guess you have enjoyed some of the local auctions 
in the UK (and were a fan of Lovejoy ;-) ).

A little gentle tlc is about all one would do. Maybe a new strap, but be sure to keep the old one. And a sympathetic service to the mechanism. (Not the full-on service for which Rolex is notorious, when they replace anything with any age-related patina and return your watch looking like new.) 

Best way to check is to research the value of a restored version of same watch. 

Value much enhanced if comes with original case and paperwork etcetc, which is unlikely. 

I like “classic” (for want of a better word) watches and have a few. Maybe this is a “Vintage” watch but seems quite pricey. Not sure that the Healey name carries that much clout outside of our world. 

I’ll not be bidding!!!

re: "... Would this lose value if it were restored?" 


  


According to Rick Harrison of 'Pawn Stars' fame, yes (at least for collectors).  Same reason a 'survivor' Mercedes Gull Wing in pretty rough shape sold for more than a perfectly restored one a while back.

Joe, 


  


Couldn't find your comments, do you have a link?  Don't think Donald wore that watch in later years.  I don't know much about classic watches.  Would this lose value if it were restored?
