Help identifying a watch
Hi crunchers, my brother-in-law inherited this watch (J W Benson, London) but doesn’t know anything about it. He's not expecting it to be valuable but wondered about the brand and if it was worth repairing the crystal. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
Thanks in advance.

Being quartz, skip to the last line
Which may or may not mean anything to you. I've had crystals replaced for $10-$15. It's not a major procedure and it's the easiest way to rejuvenate appearance.
