·I guess the decision is already made as this watch is currently listed on the Bay?

·I think the scratches in a vintage watch tell its story, but to me there is a limit. Many years ago I was looking for SM300 like this but almost all watches available had broken bezel and sourcing a OEM bezel was close to impossible, and I 'm talking about 15 years ago, so I guess now is going to be even harder. I write this long story because I think a broken bezel insert is an exception to my own rule of keeping a vintage watch as is.
Bottom line, I would replace the bezel, keep the original in a safe place, and wear it as much as I can.

·The @mcgyver inserts are great. I have had four made and they certainly do the trick.

·A modern/colourful, sticker bombish bezel could look great on these as well
Could be a statement rather than a restoration
