Sorry to hear about your Mum, but glad you can think of happier things now.
168000 will be a great daily wearer. What dial does it have? You could restore it to whatever extent you want, at a price. Glass, bezel insert and bracelet could make most look very fresh…..or just wear it on a decent strap, as you fancy. Any pics?
Happy to check it over for you if you’re in my part of the world (North West), although a small drop in the forum charity page would always be groovy.
