HEUER TRIPLE DATE TRIPLE REGISTER CHRONOGRAPH VALJOUX 72

I have an opportunity to purchase a vintage triple register triple date Heuer chronograph from the 1950s. It has a stainless snap back, horizontal pushers, and a re-plated yellow gold filled case, with a re-finished silver dial. It is a sparkling clean piece inside and out. But I am concerned that that dial makes it a piece I am going to die with. But I can grab it for $2200 Canadian dollars. Is the movement alone not worth at least that much, and do I have a piece I can make decent money on, or will I ever be able to get nos dial or even a decent vintage dial a little weathered but not re-finished? Not sure if to pass on it or grab it. Seems like great value to me even if it is not ideal from a purist's standpoint. Silver gloss dial. Nice piece but for the refinishing of the dial. Let me know your thoughts.
