Heuer Monnin 844

Hello,

this is my first post on this forum, so greetings to you all!

I've posted similar thread on the Watchuseek forum and they suggested me to ask here. I found and bought a vintage Heuer 844 Monni watch. The watch was found in box of junk which was lying at watchmakers shop for decades. I paid 40€ for the watch. The watch is in pretty bad condition but it seems complete and in running order (it will need service). Here are the pictures (I hope you will be able to see them because I have never done this before):

I have some questions regarding the watch:
-is it normal that the watch has no writings on the rotor and no "Made in France" on the dial?
-The bezel is in poor condition. Would you experts recommend to me to change it with new or to leave it as is because it is original? I will not sell the watch I would like to restore it as much as I can and still keep it in original state.
-If I would replace the bezel, is it even possible to find a replacement?

If you have any other remarks about the watch please comment.

Thank you!

Regards,
Blaz
