Is it even possible...

It's bad but not extremely bad and the viability of such a project usually depends on:

1...Who does the work, how good they are, and and how much they charge.

2...Parts availability.

3...Your expectations.

4...Amount of dedication to the project.

5...Alternatives.

 

From experience:

Some projects are not worth the trouble and expense but you may not know this starting out but only after getting deep into the project.

Watch out for rusty chronograph parts (levers/special parts/screws/column wheel etc), rusty or tangled hairspring, and missing parts.

A $10 part 25 years ago is a $200 part today. I just paid $20 for a rolex 1210 pallet fork arbor, the last one I bought was $4.
