Dial is probably original and looks nice underneath that beat up crystal. The case has been harshly polished to the point where the crown has lost all its gold plating.

You’ll want to see a movement picture to ensure it is without rust inside.

Then it comes down to price.

Easy fix with some Mothers mag polish.

its not only the scratched crystal - dial has measles which can not be removed and will get worse over time...

Yes, there is some minor spotting on the dial. If you can stop moisture from getting in by replacing with a new crystal, it will take many years for that dial to become unusable.

As long as you don't mind light signs of aging, I suspect that dial will look fine on the wrist.

Elbow polish on the crystal. Polywatch, etc. Light clean up on the case.

Thanks guys. I can have the movement thoroughly serviced and cleaned. I guess I can replace the plexiglass and regild or replace the crown. And there is enough of the gold cap there to lightly repolish the scuff marks out. I'm hoping to get the watch for around $850.
