Aroogah-
Thanks. Dad had it since new, and as a child I loved the noise of the winder - used to steal it from the bedside table to wind it up a bit.
The crown was slightly bent on its stem so I straightened it a little. Must pressure test it before getting it near water since the old gasket is pretty well flattened.

Loathe to cut up the hen's-teeth original strap to fit me (dad's wrists are way bigger), so got a Seiko bracelet coming in the post. Hope it fits the watch well, in the mean time fitted a new capacitor and spare grey nato.
