Eterna-matic Super Kontiki

Hi, is the crown signed with the Eterna logo?
The ref 130PTX/1 (to be checked on the inner side of the caseback) doesn't have a screw-down crown.

Correct, it does not have a screw down crown. The crown is quite worn and I can't see the five dots.

Any idea where I can get a crown? Also a bezel insert?

IMHO if the crown is original (even used) you should keep it like this - not easy to find one.
I love the so called "ghost"insert!!! Don't touch it 😁
Again just my humble opinion 😉

What do you suggest I do about the bracelet? Leather? NATO?

Also the dial seems dirty...or is that just the way the lume ages? I won't have it relumed, but can the lume be cleaned?

I like to wear mine on a suede strap.
Orignal Gay Freres bracelet is not easy to find and expensive. I don't like the nato as the case is already pretty thick.
For the tritium on the dial I wouldn't touch it - but maybe OF members have a different opinion and know a watchmaker able to clean it
