Update bezel and hands on a 11630? Or leave it as-is? *PIC*

Hi guys. My 11630 from 1975 has been exposed to the sun for many years by previous owner and the orange hands have faded to a light yellow color.

- Seeking your opinions and good advice if I should change the hands to NOS (M and H)? I have manage to source that.

- The bezel is scratchy, anyone out there who have refurbished a vintage bezel with good results? Should I leave it as-is or start a long search hunt sourcing a new/better one?

In advance, thanks for feedback
