I got it working again. The shopkeeper said he can restore it and change the chain and other things but for some reason I want it to keep it this way. The original way the dad way.

If it was me I wouldn't change or restore anything. The dings and bruises are all memories!

If you haven’t already you can give it a polish with the least abrasive polish possible. It’s doesn’t remove damage or scratches or anything, but it kinda removes some grime and actually shows off the wear and tear in the metal itself. A shop will do it for a few bucks.
Totally understand why you wouldn’t though! My take on the family watches I’ve got are to treat it how that person would’ve. So for my dad it’s special occasions, but for my grandpa it more of a tool watch situation so I wear it working in the garden and stuff. Because that’s what he would’ve done!
Great watch. Citizen still makes fantastic watches that are high quality and don’t cost as much as a Honda Civic lol.
