Hello TRF Amigos!

As some of you may know, I was handed down my grandfather's Bulova. I wear this watch daily and it keeps nearly perfect time. I love wearing it and personally, I think it is a wonderful looking watch. My question to you guys is...

Should I get it completely restored?

I see pictures of freshly restored vintage watches and they look amazing. I would love to get this watch restored, but would I regret it later in life since it is no longer in "original" condition? I'm not doing this to make money or improve the value of the watch, I'm doing this because it has a lot of sentimental value. My watchmaker quoted me around $120 to make it in museum quality.

Thanks!
