Riviera dashboard clock: save the original sweep or modernise?

The wide dash is half the appeal of a classic Riviera. Would you preserve an original clock as it is, have its mechanism restored, or use a modern replacement behind the original face? Photos with the lights on would be interesting.

Before deciding, I'd listen to it in a quiet cabin. The sound is one part of the original clock that a photo, however good, can't preserve.
