Apart from the cracked  outer crystal it seems to be in good working order.  The mother of pear dial spins freely, the break and damper buttons work, and the small prism is clear. The bezel ring turns but is a little stiff.

A new  outer crystal / glass, bit of a clean and a service and its good to go.
