    Thanks so much. Any idea as to value range?

    Surely the value is immaterial as the watch was your grandfathers? A watch, a ring, a tie pin, cuff links are as personal as you can get. In this instance I will guess that as is it would cost about £1000 for IWC to fully service it and to take it to an authorised dealer for forwarding to the factory where it can be dealt with. If it was mine I would request that I didn't want the case repaired to remove the dents nor polished as that is part of its history. It's value in the open market would be not dissimilar to service costs.
    Bite the bullet if you can and get it serviced, if you can't then keep it until you can afford to do it.
    I eventually got my late father's watch repaired and serviced 11 years after he died. It's nothing special but it was my father's so I was well chuffed when I got it back in good working order.
