HELP with vintage Oyster Perpetual Chronometer

Hello, I am in possession of my father's Oyster Perpetual Chronometer with serial number 3702 or 13702 ( see attached images). It is a non-working watch so I am really interested in some information on the watch and if it is worth repairing the item. I have no idea about the watch however a local horologist sort of freaked out about it and refused to touch it. He suggested I contact a professional high-end antique conservationist. Any suggestions where I can begin? Thank you for all your help.

Cool watch, live the radium shadow on the dial.

Absolute best for bubblebacks in USA is Mr. Taylor in Texas. R.W.T. on this forum. An unbelievable watchmaker!
