Nice little thingy. I'm starting to doubt my wits for letting that one go.

Maybe I should try a uv light on my dial. As you can see in the pic I posted, my tritium doesn't glow nearly as brightly as what you've posted. Does uv light work better than a regular flashlight?

I guess so, because the Fortis Brench posted (my old watch), did not nearly glow as bright when loaded with my flashlight as in Brench's UV loaded pic.

Agreed. I definitely need a uv flashlight.

Looks good to me! The photo is from AJTT page 479. It took some searching as the image was not under the De Ville chapter.
Dial signed T SWISS MADE T with lume dots visible. The hands differ but I like the OP's configuration. Nice watch! Time to find/make a checkered strap.

Looks like the one in AJTT has wrong hands since it has no lume while the dial has those lume dots.

Came across this topic,.. so just wanted to add this info to make it more complete,...

Just logged in to confirm the watch is completely original. I've seen multiple. 6 months a very nice example was sold via Chrono24. I own one for a pretty long time now. Here is mine,... sorry just one photo and one of the movement.
Mine is from 1968.

The text on the dial is too accurate to suggest a redial, so it looks like the original dial (not repainted) to me.
