Sounds like it just needs a servicing, which will most likely run $200 or so, plus a new crystal.

Any watch with sentimental value is always worth repairing to me.
Antique pocket watches make great desk clocks in one of these:

I have an antique Omega in mine right now, but I switch them out often as they sell. Winding it every morning is a nice ritual.
Hey so if anyone is interested:
The model is Gutrot Spume from Game's Workshops Warhammer fantasy. The land is a mixture of cork, astrogranite, and a homemade astrogranite "substitute" with a coarser grain. The vegetation is lichen, which can be purchased at Hobby Lobby. The whole piece is on a glass dome display case made for a watch. Very cheap and looks great. I recommend.
Also, if anyone has any advice on how I can improve the quality of my pictures it would be much appreciated. I struggle every time.
Cheers!
