I think the rule of common sense is only do what is necessary for the piece to function as you want it to.
When I had my ‘71 speedmaster mk2 restored I was able to retain the original but faded dial and hands but I did have new chrono pushers as they were EXACTLY the same as the knackered ones.
But I had the case refinished. Heretic!!
And you’ve all seen the pictures on here and everybody loved it, but most importantly it’s what I wanted , a period piece as usable as a new one.

Part of it is the lack of control.

As I understand it you have no comms, right of veto, or ability to request the old parts - like dial or hands.

For such a common brand, its hard to see why you'd bother using them over an indy.
