To me it looks quit nice, I am not sure if the crown is original, haven't got any photo of the movement.
The case looks a bit beaten up, pitty i dont have any photo of the back.
the patina looks a bit different from what i read that it is common with spiderweb like patina.

Seems to be similar to this one, expect the one i found is gold capped

and another one gold capped, seems like there is no logo on the gold capped version

It's too far gone for me, both dial and case, I'd pass.

Here's one I sourced for my brother-in-law a couple of years ago which also has speckles on the dial, but here the glossiness of the dial is intact and there are much less speckles, this one I find much more attractive. Hold out for a better example.
