I would be inclined to have the movement serviced. Clean up the case. Don’t polish it though. Clean the dial and hands without damaging them further. Replace the datewheel and crystal. Maybe the crown too at this point. Reassemble with the original dial and hands and insert.
Then take your time to live with it and start the search for an appropriate dial and hands (if necessary) and insert……. If you want.
Hanging onto the original parts, it seems isn’t necessarily important to you, but would make a nice compliment to the watch if you did replace them. Or when the time comes and you do find a good insert, you could sell the original.
If it were me though, I’d hang on to the original parts if I did replace them.
Enjoy the ‘journey’.
