Very sorry to hear about your father, this watch is a wonderful heirloom for you to enjoy. And a really attractive watch IMO.

Unfortunate that the reference number can't be read, but maybe if you look really closely between the lugs at both 6 and 12 o'clock, in different light under magnification, something will show up. I don't think it's all original, since the dial appears later than the case, but that definitely doesn't mean it's a franken. Rolex often installed authentic parts to replace worn parts when watches underwent standard maintenance service.

I don't think it really needs any restoration other than a standard service for the movement, keeping everything else as is.
