Even the crystal can be kept, as it can be cleaned off with some toothpaste to become clear again.

That watch looks better then the day it was made. Leave it just the way it is and enjoy it. The fact that it was your dad's watch makes it even that much more special

Please post a few additional pictures, with the hands moved so that one can see all the writing on the dial. See if you can have someone take them, if you don't feel that you can take good enough shots. Better lighting, and more in focus would be a big help in determining overall condition and thus value. Also, pictures of the serial number and model numbers on the outside of the case at 6 and 12 are important, as well as more and better pictures of the lugs and crown and crown guard, bezel, and the like. All of the above will assist in folks helping you.

Looking forward to those additional pictures!
