No the dial lens was not Plexiglas or Lexan or any of those, it was molded celluloid. If the original is crack free, and is not warped, you can remove the yellowing and scratches with a proper cleaning and some plastic polish. You can still buy clear celluloid, they now call it acetate, but the fellow at the plastics shop actually recommended using clear vinyl sheet as it's cheaper and molds easier, $2 verses $6 a sheet. They use it to make chocolate molds using vacuum molding.
