Dash clock replacement - early Benzes.

Our 72 107 has a separate clock in center of dash. It is a Kienzl mechanical clock with electric winder.

After 47 years, my clock is a bit temperamental and I am thinking of replacing it with an electric quartz clock.

Has anyone found one that will fit the dash opening and look like it belongs?

Re existing clock: Years ago, I did the winder upgrade (diode and capacitor). So that part works. I have washed the clock mechanism (a little detergent in an ultrasonic bath). Oiled it carefully. It works. But hard to adjust and occasionally doesn't run. Just getting old.
