Watch worth around 30£ in that condition, and in my opinion is totally worth it, it's yours it has for sure plenty of stories to tell, and it's a really good looking watch, very dressy! You can find a strap on Bay, there are a lot of Indian guys that sell a lot of those vintage citizens, you can get one for donor, also for the strap and glass! And you can always fit in it, a leather a nato our even a mesh strap, that will probably look very cool on that watch, and from China this straps are really cheap, and kind have some quality, I tested it my self!
Use it as a pocket watch for some time. No need for a strap.Found my Casio last night. No, I don't think it will work again, half the face shows "spilling" of the liquid, it's totally black. Also found another analogic watch I didn't remember. This one has a loose hand and doesn't wind up.

I think it must have some value to you as you've taken the trouble to start a thread about it. With that in mind, it's a quality watch that's worth getting a strap for to test whether its still working or not, and take it from there.

A guy from germany already offered a free strap without success. We´ll have to wait until he wore it and has checkked the accuracy, I fear.
It sounds like it needs a service Al,sadly due to my poor eye sight i no longer do services personally i dont feel this watch has the value to warrant paying for a service,but try keep wearing it as you never no as mechanical watches can be funny things

It cost me a tenner to have the watch strap replaced. If it behaves then it was a bargain to get it back into circulation, and if not, then I haven't wasted much i have no intention of going to the expense of having it serviced, and would rather put the funds towards a mechanical (wind up) instead.... or just wear one of my other watches instead I might save this one for special occasions .... like decorating or gardening
