Have the following gen dial.



Which bezel insert is period correct or does it not matter?



And which hands?

Okay, I believe the flat four insert is correct.

Now just wondering about the hands.

Pretty sure it’s 1B and 2B. But I could’ve sworn I’d read somewhere the hands were mismatched (skinny minute and fat hour).

yes, flat 4 insert would be correct. One of our resident vintage gurus like @tripdog probably can help more on the hands. I believe your A series (thicker) hands are correct for the older tritum based subs, but I am not an expert in vintage Rolex.
