Nice. Just Basic Time and Date.

It needs service pretty bad. Her father was just going to throw it out so she saved it for me.

Any decent place should be able to service it for $20.

...As long as there isn't something seriously wrong.

It's a mechanical watch, not quartz. I'd be lucky to spend less than $300 getting a vintage watch Like this serviced.

Is it wet inside? Does the sapphire screw off? If so I'd let it air out

I don't think so no. Iirc it's early 70's and has never been serviced. If you pick it up and give it the shuffle you can hear how rough it is. So I don't think me opening it would do much except possibly make it stop forever. As it sits it still runs.

I was just curious because the photo looks rather condensate in the saphire

Well I also took it with a potato. I want to say this was before I cleaned it up a little, and hit the crystal with some poly watch.
