The $600 movement service (and crown replacement perhaps) is probably the only thing in that list that is truly required. Do you want to wear it or sell it? If you want to wear it and it is falling off your wrist because the clasp is broken it would probably be good to replace the clasp. If you can't read the dial because the crystal is too scratched, then replace that.
However, if you want to sell it you should know that vintage watch collectors like all- original parts!! They don't even like it polished!! (you can ask to have it not polished). Thus, replacing the hands sounds like a bad idea.
So, in large part, it's up to you. I had my old 16610 serviced to the tune of $1400, at Rolex, NY, and now it looks like a brand new watch. I also had the clasp replaced, which cost $490, and other things, but I wasn't looking to sell it as a vintage piece. I needed to wear it and not have it fall off my wrist.
