Should I replace the crystal?

my son was given this watch from my uncle who recently passed away, hes graduating from college this week and starts at his new Job on Monday. I would like to have the crystal replaced and possibly upgraded to sapphire is that a bad idea?

I would see what a watchmaker could do to polish the acrylic.  I like to keep acrylic on these period pieces. Polywatch is very forgiving.

A thorough polishing and a swanky alligator or lizard strap and 🎯.

Get some polywatch to shine it up. That headlight polish is probably the same stuff but Polywatch is best.
