Having now taken the watch apart it seems the movement is in pretty good condition.
There was a hell of a lot of oil in it though. You can see here a puddle of oil sat on the automatic works...
Couple more pics of the movement...
Happy to report no damage to the dial or hands either.

I do indeed. That's how you service a watch.
Nice job. Reminds of a laptop I was asked to fix. A sticky key on the keyboard apparently. When I saw it, it had three missing keys, reeked of WD40, rattled, and powered off within seconds!
Nice to see, but out of curiosity, how do you clean the oil off the dial?
Fairly easily, it's plastic so the oil hasn't permeated it in any way.
Just dabbed it with some tissue paper and wiped it off with some isopropyl alcohol and a bit of rodico.
