so, i have this pocketwatch.

i bumped into an old pocketwatch that belonged to my da. i thought i had lost it, so i am thrilled i found it.
it's a beat up old thing, no crystal, no hands, cant wind. i think it is the watch that he won in a sales contest in school. not sure. it could be a graduation gift, as the timing is about right, but there's no engraving. so....
anyway, it seems to be an odd duck of a watch. havent been able to find one JUST like it, but this one, in great shape, is close-


sorry, dont have a photo account, but here is a fb thread w pics- https://www.facebook.com/mo.cahill.3/posts/10158298753775810

these are the stats, based on the serial number. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/elgin/26777423

any thoughts on getting it restored? in a way it's precious the way it is, as that's the only way i know it. it's 30 years older than i am. monetarily, i doubt it's worth it, tho as i said, it's not a common one. it is higher end. 17 jewels, 14k gold filled case, as opposed to 10k. and that fancy dial.
and i sure would love to see it run.
i would at least like to clean that dial up. what is safe to use?

what would you do?
