How about keeping the old one, but replacing the dial hands (she chooses which design) replace the bracelet and she has in effect a bespoke ‘new’ piece in her possession retaining everything she loves in its size and the fact you bought it for her 40 years ago. Economically it probably makes no sense (although you could sell old parts), but the effort may be worth it.
There’s so many spare parts around for these watches, many NOS. Contact John Buckley (TuscanyRose) or maybe your AD can help.
