What to do with my TT DJ?

I have a 1988 R160133 SS/YG Datejust, which I really do like and use as my "daily driver" for work. The crystal is domed, and not sapphire, and is therefore, fairly scratched up. I'm contemplating replacing the crystal - but would you replace it with a new domed crystal to keep it authentic, or with a scratch-free sapphire? Also, I don't love the Jubilee bracelet, although it does look "right" with this model, but I am thinking of replacing it with an oyster (TT PCL??). What would you do? I think you get my drift that I'd like to leave the watch with as much of the original look as possible. Thoughts?? Thanks!!

What would a new crystal and/or bracelet cost? I'm assuming an AD could do this - that I wouldn't have to send it to an RSC, correct?
