Might be, but one needs reference material...
Again, it will depend on what you want yourself, but in general, cleaning a watch fully, will not change its character. Changing (polishing) the case, 'touching-up' the dial, replacing the hands, will.
Nothing wrong with that per se, but people have different tastes and preferences.
If you post some good, high res pics of the watch, you might get some advice on how to judge (and therefore decide on next steps) on dial, hands and the like.
Enjoy the ride!!
