Looks like a sharp 145.022-69 with a replaced bezel.

Though additional and better photos of the watch would be helpful (especially of the movement) outwardly it appears to be a 145.022-69ST.

The movement number would go a long way to confirming the above.

I was able to take the case back of and have a few additional pictures to share. The watch is a 45022-69ST. I still have questions if the bezel or hands are original or replacement. Any additional info would be helpful.

There is no question - the bezel Is a replacement. It’s a B3 from the 90’s. You need a B1 dot over ninety.
Your serial shows your watch is too early for even a B2 bezel.

Just would this info on watchfid.com The bezel appears to be one of the 3 used in 1970 it falls in the correct serial number range. They call it Type 3 "220" Bezel you think it is still a replacement

That isn’t the same as your bezel and even if it were, it would still be wrong for your watch.

+1 on this piece originally being fitted with a DON bezel.

The handset and dial are consistent with a 145.022-69ST so likely original to the watch.
