Second what Dan says. there are no obvious signs that water has got in, but we'd need a look at the movement. It's a cool watch. The dial definitely seems in good shape (which is always a positive sign). Any decent watchmaker can repair and service this as well as source the parts. There don't appear to be cracks in the crystal so I'd buy a tube of polywatch and buff out the scratches to try and keep it original as possible. If you don't like the result, replacing the crystal is easy. Just be sure to clearly say to the repairman you don't want the watch polished AT ALL...(and go to a decent well known repair shop....Some one here will recommend one in Sydney for sure), Nothing screws up the visuals and the value of a watch more than one that has been over zealously polished on the wheel. I'd take the bracelet off and give it a good clean or an ultrasonic bath if you have one. the case you can gently clean. In a couple of months you'll be wearing a very cool classic watch with a new lease of life. Here's to another 50 years!
