I would venture to guess that the hands have been replaced based on their color. As far as the dial, are you basing your guess on the puffy markers? If so, again, I would venture to guess that the dial has not been retouched and is original. I have a 5513 that has the same "puffy" markers.

 The lume dot looks newer than the insert to me.

This might help, my 62 5512 beside it. What year is yours, I think it must be after 63, as from what I understand, that was when the Superlative lines were added to the 5512 to differentiate it from the newly released 5513 which was none chronometer rated. The hands do look a wee bit different, perhaps re lumed. The dial lume is a hard one, looks pretty good, hard to tell, the colours on the lines seem to match the indices.
