5513 originality of dial, pip, bezel, hands.

I Would greatly appreciate your thoughts on whether dial, hands, pip, and bezel appear original / period correct on this Mark V 5513 ~8mm series.

Any and all thoughts welcome thank you!

Relume? Original degradation?

Bezel insert @ 10 & 20 sort of tucked under bezel steel? Suggest replacement? Appreciate any thoughts.

Nice looking Mk5 maxi dial. Nice even case. No issues that I can see. Hands not in great condition and pics not good enough to determine if they’re relumed or not. Not a big deal if they are imo. Dial lume appears ok but again I can’t say for sure with those pictures, you need hi res macros to confirm and UV. Insert is period correct, the fonts are closer to the outside edge on this variant of insert, no cause for concern. Can’t really see much of the pip to comment on that.

Thanks so much. I appreciate your insights.
