This might be worth sending to RSC NY and getting a quote on a full service. Their price on a service dial might be reasonable, assuming they'll still service a 6542. Even if a new case is needed the whole bill might be south of $3k.

Original, period-correct parts would be astronomical. A watch made from service parts would be affordable.
