DRSD bezel

Hi,
I recently acquired DRSD MK4 dial from original owner’s family. Dial is fine with tiny chip at 30 min marker under Swiss T sign; original matching hands, caseback has matching serial engraving from inside. I am not certain on bezel, would you advise me if this is period correct bezel or perhaps late 90s service replacement?

Pearl is missing. Haven’t done anything to the watch other than cleaning filth and Polywatch.

Thanks

Thank you, wondering how can you tell? What’s the leading point to look for?

It would depend on the serial number with the bezel but the insert does look like a latter one.
