The perimeter of the case back appears to me to have a gasket. But I am unable to see whether the case back is a “snap on”, or if it is threaded. Even if there is a gasket, and the case back is threaded, DO NOT assume it will be water resistant! Case tubes wear out, gaskets in crown deteriorate, acrylic crystals shrink, threads in the base metal case corrode, and all this leads to danger of water intrusion. These older calibres (calibre 351?) are obsolete, and can be very expensive to repair if you rust a bunch of parts. A complete service does NOT make a new watch out of a 70 years old vintage watch! Treat it right and it can give you pleasure for decades. OR, dam the torpedoes and full speed ahead, and you could use up what is left of your watch in two years, or less,
