Winding issue.... I think. 1960s Seamaster 300.

More photos. A bit difficult to get a clear frontal shot outside. But you can see there is some fading on the glowing bits (that's the technical name for it of course).

UPDATE: It has taken me a while to respond because after using the auto winder I got (that gently turns the watch while I'm asleep) for a few nights, it would not stop, and I was not feeling like letting it set around since I was enjoying wearing it. But I did finally set it down for a few days and it stopped. I carefully picked it up so as not to accidentally start it, and began winding. On about the 3rd turn of the crown, it second hand began moving. I wound the crown 100 times (thinking that would be 50 full revolutions). It has not stopped since. I think it's actually doing fine. I think I will take it in and have it serviced though since that probably has not happened recently. Thanks everyone for all the help. It really helped with the problem solving and increasing my general knowledge.

Good idea on getting it serviced, its surely a watch that deserves it.

I am getting it serviced and they are asking along with a gasket replacement if I want to get the luminous part of the hands touched up. My thought is that could potentially lower the value, but am wondering what other opinions are.

Your thought is correct.
