Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for helping me clean up the duplicate posts. I realized right after posting the first one that I had forgotten to attach the photos, and since I couldn’t find the "Edit" button, I figured a fresh start was the best way to go. Sorry for the confusion!

I really appreciate the information you shared. Confirming the G3 serial number is incredibly helpful—it adds so much historical context to the piece.

The watch is currently on its way to me. Once it arrives, I plan to perform some basic mechanical maintenance to get it running smoothly. I’m also seriously considering a dial refinish to bring it back to its original glory.

Regarding the crystal—that is such a generous offer! If you do happen to find a spare mineral glass crystal for the VT Master while poking around your lot, I would be extremely grateful. Please don't hesitate to let me know the total cost; I’m more than happy to pay for the part itself in addition to the shipping.

The dial looks good IMO. I like a little patina that shows the watch's age. Your call though, it's a personal choice.
