As above, certainly genuine and also with the original crown.
A quick polish of the crystal and it’ll look great.

Very nice gold capped Seamaster De Ville and as other people have said with the correct crown. I'd say that it's a reference 136.020.

Great to hear - make sure to get it serviced before wearing it too much. Otherwise you could risk damaging the movement.

Imagine what the oil must look like after 37years! I would not use at all until serviced.
Knowledge and patience are the most rewarding traits we watch nuts possess.
Be patient.

You are a smart cookie!

Seamaster on the dial!

Nice find, but I think it's a 14kt gold bezel and lugs.

Remove the bracelet to avoid damaging the lugs any further and check between the lugs to see if it says anything about the bezel

Make sure to get it serviced by a good professional watchmaker. And most of all, make sure they do NOTHING to the case or the dial. No renovation, no improvement, no machine polish, make sure they do not touch the outside.

Only service the movement, which means take the movement apart, clean it, put it back together and regulate.

The beauty of the watch is that it is very much like when it lwft the factory. When people use polishing machines on a watch, it causes damage because it removes all of the fine detaols and the angles. Your father in law’s watch is in very good condition and needs nothing but a movement service.

A nice watch! Like others have said, stop wearing it and get the movement serviced right away! The internals need to be cleaned and lubricated. The bracelet is probably a replacement, since the original clasps were relatively fragile.
