Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear if your father has passed, though wonderful to have his watch to enjoy. I agree, the dial looks great, and a leather strap would make the damage just seem like very confident patina. It looks like the crystal would polish up with polywatch, and wouldn’t need to be replaced - if the service hasn’t been done in a while then the watchmaker could give it a clean-up. Speaking of a watchmaker, s/he could open yours up to see the ref # inside the case back. Send us photos of that and the movement! I’d love to see the next photos with a cleaned up crystal and new strap
