Vintage Rolex questions.

I have a Rolex serial number 135000. Says either 1939 1941 or 1954.. my questions is on the model 12 o'clock position says beveto I believe scratch up hard to read.. and model number looks to be 6533 or 6532 or 6522 hard to read also scratched.. I've had this watch for around 20+ years.. it has a diamond bezel.. when was bezels introduced.. iam assuming it's a add-on?. Has 48 diamonds as what Rolex used.. the bezel and clear top has came over the years.. it's been in a jewelry box and still keeps time but all the dot and or lines have came off the face of it.. were in Tennessee could I get it professional repaired with new band.. also when did Rolex put above the model# Rolex design and or original rolex design..? As mine says beveto

Needs more research and perhaps some photos, but here are some guesses.

Brevet was used on Rolex watches and means patented/registered, just not in English like we are used to.

An early Oyster Perpetual is reference 6532, likely from the 50's, and could have different bezels fitted, including diamond channels.
