6202 Turn-O-Graph -- What Do I Really Have Here?

Hello everyone. First post with a questions about a Turn-O-Graph that I found in a bag full of watches.

Quick backstory: My father was a jeweler and Rolex dealer from the mid-60s until 1983. When he closed his last store, everything that didn't sell at time was boxed up and put away, including some old merchandise. He died a couple of years ago and mom is ready to downsize and move to someplace smaller, so that means going through *everything* in the house.

Recently, I literally found a "bag-o-watches" in a box and this one was mixed in among them. It's marked 6202 and the serial number is 950xxx. It has a C&I Oyster bracelet marked 7-66, so I know it's not original. It was most likely a watch taken in trade for a newer one in the early 70s. Perhaps used as a loaner until it stopped working.

Based on today's valuations of these watches, I thought I had a real "barn find" on my hands until I started comparing the dial to other 6202 examples. It looks like this one's been poorly redone.

My question (if you've made it this far) is how should I proceed in getting this watch back in service? Or should I not even bother and just sell it as-is for parts?

Appreciate any helpful advice!
