Originally received the watch from my grandmother who is quite the materialistic women, i was quoted $300 in gold for the back plate, however they’d have to completely destroy the watch. It’s a nice watch so if i can make sure it gets a new owner who can enjoy it i rather do that. Also couldn’t find the same dial absolutely anywhere so maybe it actually had some more value then i think. Or maybe not but it’s worth a shot.
