Picked this up last week and it is so good. First wind and away it went. It keeps great time too. It may be a little crazed on the crystal (bit of an odd size) so I polished what was there. It has the Valjoux 7733 movement.
Beautiful! That is a really great and classic find.
Even though it's running well you might want to consider a service if it hasn't been serviced recently.
I've had several vintage watches which ran great, I wore them and ended up damaging them. It turned out they'd been running completely dry because there was no lubrication left, which meant parts got worn and damaged. I could have avoided a costly spare parts bill if I'd got them serviced earlier.

Nice looking watch. Is that blue or silver?

It's silver.
Looks really great. The applied indicies creates a really interesting dial despite the toned down colorscheme👍
Looks really good with the scratches
