·DIscuss, please. Do we think this watch went back for a service post-1980 and got fitted with replacement movement, dial and bezel?

An 18ct gold Omega Speedmaster Professional 'Apollo XI' limited edition moonlanding automatic
An 18ct gold Omega Speedmaster Professional 'Apollo XI' limited edition moonlanding automatic (???) bracelet watch,c.1969, no. 665, with a replacement movement c.1982. A champagne dial with raised batons, three subsidiary dials including constant seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hour registers, black bezel calibrated for tachymeter scale, fitted lugs and 18ct gold bracelet with deployant clasp. 42mm diameter dial. Case no.145022-69. Movement no.45583258. Calibre 861. 18ct gold Import hallmark London 1969. Swiss assay marks.
It is likely that the dial was also replaced in 1982 when the movement was replaced. We do not know if the bezel is original to the case or also a replacement c1982.
