What about this 1965 5513?

Good evening fellow Rolexers! I've seen the watch below out för sale. It is a 5513 from Q1 1965 (serial 1,2 mill) with, as far as I can see, a replacement insert. What do you think about it? The dial, is it consistent with the serial - can it be cleaned up by an expert? Any opinions are welcome. Thanks!

I'd leave dial & hands as is and search for a period correct faded insert. Otherwise, move on to a different watch in better condition.

the bezel is too sharp a more 'softer around the edges' one with a correct fat font insert & pip would make it look more in keeping with the condition of the rest of the piece
