production was probably in 1973

If your case number I guess is 4846xx, the movement number I guess in the range 64xxxx, than the production date was in the early 70', as already stated initially.
This would narrow the dials and refs to compare significantly.
The inconsistent font which I talked about earlier (check the G, the O, the C) may result from different suppliers for dials and therefore different tooling for print.
In the meanwhile I found another sample a ref 2019 (no A), with almost identical print.
My recommendation would be, buy a new strap and be happy with your watch.
The dial is clean, care not to get moisture intrusion.
Polishing watch cases is quite common. To get the satin effect back is quite difficult.
When you give your watch for service the next time, manage to get photos from the inside - movement and case back - and the numbers.
