As far as the watch condition itself , there are a few problems.
The holes you mention are between the case and the bezel. The Crown is the part that you wind the watch with.
The holes look like someone may have been trying to pry the bezel off, wrong way to do it.......
The watch needs service by a professional watchmaker. The back of the watch shows considerable corrosion and, even with a new gasket, I don't believe this watch will ever be waterproof at all.
