Rolex

I had it autheniticated at a Rolex daelaer in Edinburgh. Inside has the exact same numbers as yours. It is missing the bezel and the insert nad has had the bars removed. My father had his name engraved on the rear of the case but you can still make out all the numbers and a small arrow. It has no serial number below the lower lugs. Not sure if any did.

I think I perhaps asked the question in the wrong way last time. I'm not really looking for a valuation. What I am looking for is advice. I have contacted a restorer recommended by Sothebys and he says he can carry out the work. However, he advised an original bezel will be impossible to source, so he is going to fabricate one. My questions with regard to the insert was this: He advised me me might be able to source an original insert for around £6K. But could either fabricate an exact replica or replace with a simialr bezel from a vintage rolex. What would you advise?

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
