I guess the AD forgot to clean some parts, the visible ones. I would be surprised if the selling of the watch would really help enough to fund your study, unless it is some "missing link" like watch. But then I would take care of the watch and keep it.
Kind regards, Paul
What you do may not be so important, but it is very important that you do it well. (my variation of a saying by Gandhi)
It is most likely a calibre 83 (that's the movement) IWC watch from the early to mid 1940s. You can see similar watches in the catalogs of that era at http://www.iwcforum.com/Vintage_Catalogs.html
Unfortunately the condition of yours is just fair, especially with the dial. That may limit its resale value. Others may have other opinions but I'd guess thst you'd be lucky to get 1000 USD, and it could be much less.

ofcourse i didn't ask for a full scholarship for this watch
Yes, it is calibre 83, but a can't find somthing that match in the catalogs (only in 38' catalog and they are diffrent in many aspects..
I didn't mention it's a gold watch, did you consider it in the price tag?
again, thenk you very much
