Is this watch genuine? And how much it cost? Can you give information please? And its deviation about 25 seconds in a day, is it normal?

Yea 25 seconds in a day isn't excessive, these are non-chronometer movements and if it hasn't been serviced recently, it probably could use that too

Thank you, but because of it doesn't have a second stopping setting, it will change 1 minute in the time in every two days, and is there a way to set the right time easily? (I turn the clock back and when I hold the crown, second stop but I'm not sure if it is harmful for the watch) Also I wonder does it look genuine?

The watch is absolutely genuine, applying some negative pressure on the crown to stop it is the way to hack it just don't go too far and make the hand go backwards.

Its not a chronometer no point in trying to set the time precisely as it will need resetting every so often, its a vintage watch not a big deal. if this bothers you try to find a watch with hacking feature, but you will still be resetting it periodically anyway its a vintage watch

Thanks for the ideas, also I wonder how much would be the price if I want to sell it?

Sorry, is it for euro or dollar?

GBP but it’s all roughly the same as watches cost slightly more in the UK so 275-300 £/$

Thanks, I want to ask one more thing, I think the watch has a manual winding feature, when we turn the crown counterclockwise, does this winding work and how many times do we need to turn it? (sorry my English may be not so good)

It does have manual winding as wel as automatic. Turn clockwise (away from you). As it’s an auto there won’t be a point where winding stops.
20 winds should be enough to get it going and 40 or so will fully charge it

I wonder if the deviation of this watch can be reduced by service (at least to make it a little more accurate, to reduce it to 15 seconds for example, from 30 seconds now) can something like this be done? otherwise the watchmaker will just take my money for nothing

Of course it can be serviced which should greatly improve the accuracy.

A service will probably cost around £200 - £250 unless it needs additional parts

Servicing will extend the life of the watch as well as making it more accurate. Should do it every 5-10 years and right away if you don't know when it was last serviced.
