I'm no expert, but the dial looks pretty good and original to me. I don't know about the inner bezel ring. I've seen some that have a black border around the lume and some that don't, and I think existed if I'm not mistaken. The font seems to be correct on the ring also.

Both appear to be original. The lume triangle most likely flaked off at some point.

Original, simply, the lume triangle has fallen off.

Ok , thanks all. when I'll receive ,I could start to rebuild the wathe with 69 base.I want to stay in the same period for to leave the original feeling most that I can. I can use this watch,my RAT 69 ,even if i love it(with a new nos bezel) .because I have already a nice 6139-6000 blue jdm. Or I wait to find another 69. What you think ?   Early one . |

I say leave it as it is! Don't take all that lovely character away from it . . . . it took many years of "life" to attain that look. If it runs, I'd keep it just as it sits and find another watch to use that dial and ring on. JM$0.02.

How does one deal with cases that are say...heavily scratched or dinged up. Is there a way to clean it up without lowering the value (meaning - do it properly)?
