Welcome to OF. It would be helpful if you could elaborate a bit more please beyond one photo and a title. It is always good to familiarize yourself with the community guidelines. These might help you.

best find a good watchmaker to service it.

It looks like a 90's Speedmaster, so not a massively valuable vintage piece - but desirable & a great watch to wear.

If it doesn’t run, get a quote to repair it and then decide. From the photo it looks like a 1970s ref. 145.022-74 but it looks like the bezel may have been replaced in the 90s. Not particularly exotic/valuable relatively speaking but if it has sentimental value…

Please don’t think I’m insulting you. Have you gently tried to wind the watch? It’s a manual wind watch no battery or rotor to wind it automatically when you wear or gently rotate the watch in your hand. Only way to get it going is wind it with the centre crown. If you pull the crown out can you adjust the time setting? Again very gently as you have no Idea of the movements current state.
