That’s a nice thing to have from your father.
A good panda dial which looks to have aged well, case - gold capped? - has no major damage in that view, all the bits of the pushers are there, and that may be the original crown.
Well worth a sympathetic repair.
I’d recommend Duncan Potter at Genesis:

However, I do not know if they do Breitling.Or Stephen Hale would do an excellent job.
https://www.shwr.co.ukBoth probably have quite a waiting list.And quite a price list, tbh.
With Genesis you book the watch in, keep it, and then send it in when alerted.Any good watchmaker should be able to service one of these Valjoux movements but in this case you'd want to be sure they weren’t going to cock it up, and that they would have or could make any parts needed.
Any recommendations for servicing a Brietling Toptime? Inherited from my father, it's knackered - knowing him probably sat in a drawer for 20-30 years... it's from 1965.
