A ArquetteIt is a beautiful area, been here for 73 years. You might know the answer to this question. Which of the two watch bracelets would you think came with the watch, the 17mm rounded link or the 18.7mm flat link ?
Depends on ultimate goal and how much time and money you have. As stated Omega/Nesbit's will replace the dial and most likely the hands. If you want it to look like new, send it to them. But if you want to keep it original either send it somewhere else or go the restoration route.
Nesbit's won't automatically replace the dial and hands, it depends on their condition when they disassemble the watch. I had Nesbit's do an overhaul on my 1973 MKII last year, I had a long discussion with Jan on how I wanted to proceed. Watch came back with the original tritium dial and hands. If they had had problems with a deteriorated lume on the hands they would have replaced them, but they worked to save the original hands. There is always a benefit with being able to talk to someone at the repair facility, Nesbit's is good in that regard.
