1992 900S CV - coolant gauge pegging

I'm having a problem - temp gauge is pegging in the red zone. Not sure whether to believe it -
Alternator/Water pump belts are tight - no pully slip that I can see.
No coolant loss. All coolant hoses are hot.
It could be the water pump which I've never changed out- the car just hit 200k miles; I bought it with 100k....not hearing bearing noise and no leaks but I'm not convinced it's moving coolant (I use Prestone G-5), though I think the hot hoses indicate it is.(?)
I notice the gauge moves up and down noticeably - it doesn't just creep up. Cooling fans trip on and off.
I'm thinking I will start by changing the temp sender sensor first. Maybe the water pump this weekend.
I just don't want it to overheat.
All inputs and help welcome!
