·Hello,
Except the bezel, the other components look good.
Unfortunately it will not be easy to find another period correct bezel insert, I suggest to look on ebay periodically. Elsewhere you got two options:
1) buy an high-fidelity reproduction bezel
2) buy a service replacement ( it will look different and will be luminova)

·Nice Baby Ploprof,
to add to the above comments your dial is also the original one with double notched 12 o’clock marker, there are currently a few in the market with the later replacement dial with single notch marker.
regards

·If this one was mine, I'd probably just repaint that insert. Vintage replacements are rare, and (to my taste...) a spanking new one would probably look worse than what you have now.
Just in case you did fancy that route, be very careful with using solvents on acrylic.

·Yikes....One my acts of folly. Buying a watch that needed a bezel replacement. Six months later I got a bezel that was almost correct. Never again.
