This inscription headed Chek Chue Tin Hau Temple - bell, appears in the 3 volume, 892 page, Chinese language text compiled by David Faure, Bernard H.K. Luk, & Alice Ngai-ha Lun Ng (eds), titled Historical Inscriptions of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 1986.
A rough, incomplete reading of the text would indicate that the inscription is dated 1767, and is embossed onto a commemorative bell that is associated with the Chek Chue Tin Hau Temple.

The second missing character should be easy, if 乾隆三十二年is correct. That would be the word 丁。The corresponding phrase for the year is 丁亥。
