I can't recommend a dealer as all my vintage watches come from eBay or antiques fairs , what I can recommend is doing a massive amount of research before you buy .

You will need to open it up for more info case ref movement ect. Looks mid to late 50s to me steel case .
It's a cracker I would advise your friend to get it serviced and start wearing it .

Probably a high beat ETA movement. Being a beatmaster model. Have seen 28000 on a Waltham watch , different watch to yours and marked on the dial . Is the sweep nice and smooth or more of a tick ?...

That looks to be a very unusual lord matic.
Japan only model ?
Crystal will have to be generic ,Cousins or eBay . You will of course have to measure the original.
It may of originally had a...

Great post from Paul he's sorted a few of mine for me and always been happy.

Honestly I think the seller is taking the P...., a watch that has problems, possibly won't be cheap to fix and puts the price up 😮
Keep looking and leave the chancer to sort out his own watch.

Nice collection what's the black dial vintage Omega from your grandfather ? , looks in great condition.

Purchased a few times always gone smoothly for me but these purchases were from Europe pre Brexit.

Paul's done a great job , really nice dial colour slight burgundy tinge as it's aged lovely !

Same advice here , it's a good sign that you have movement in the hands. A new crystal might be in order for future rain storms !!!!
