Icon20 '66 GMT 1675 Need Help/Advice to conserve/restore

Hello all, I have enough experience in watch world to know that I need advice and guidance to properly conserve this '66. It has a fine condition 78360 bracelet with 580 end pieces. The acrylic xtl is crazed. Definitely in need of a tube but unsure of condition of threads inside of crown. I'd rather not replace the crown. Glossy dial, but I'm lost on the differences bt mk1,mk2, etc. The GMT hand is the "small" type and the red epoxy has rolled/peeled up. Can this be re-applied or should it be replaced with same style, period correct hand in better condition? Dial has a great patina, but I'm confused as I would not call this a tropic dial, though I've seen similar dials described as such by some sellers. And what the heck is a gilt chapter ring??? I would think that would denote "gold", but many described as such look white printed to me. I would greatly appreciate any feedback and help in identifying any of the esoteric details of this PX Purchase Timepiece. Also, I'm unsure of it's potential value once correctly restored. Any ideas? If it is not appropriate to publicly recommend qualified restoration watchmakers on this thread, your PM will be greatly appreciated.
