Watch restoration question…

A couple of years ago, I had my Seiko Pepsi/Pogue watch fixed up with a new bezel, face, band, hands, etc.

I now realize, I screwed up and the watch was no longer what it was. While it looked new, it didn’t have 49 years of my wear and tear. In addition, none of the new luminescence works!

Yesterday, I reinstalled the old wristband and the bezel. When I installed the bezel, the chrome surround for the day/date popped off.

Now, I’m thinking about how to repair the chrome surround for the date/date and the luminescence issue (although this isn’t a deal breaker).

Is it possible I can pull the watch apart to get to the face and reattach the chrome surround? I have zero tools with this kind of work.

Also, I have the old face and although the luminescence is worn, I was thinking of putting it back on. Pretty much putting the watch back to its 49-year-old appearance.

Thoughts?
