Nice looking watch. If we can ID it, you might be able to find a replacement crystal. I strongly recommend getting the watch fully serviced by a competent watchmaker if you plan to use it. Dirty or dry watches can and do damage themselves by running. A service interval for a mechanical watch is between 4 and 6 yrs. I buy a hundred watches a year on eBay, and I have never seen one that is properly serviced, even when it is advertised as such.
The power reserve for these watches is less than 40 hours, so you do need to wind it every day.
