路Bought this today as it really intrigued me.
The PM (Promethium lume) on the outer minute track puts it into a very specific time frame as this lume type was used only for a very short time.
The thing that had me confused was the Roamer " r " applied logo which typically doesn't appear till a much later time frame, late 60's and 70's rather than this very early 60's format or very late 50's. The other confusing point was the separate minute track which likewise is an early 60's thing.
It's certainly not a franken watch as it all correct just not expected.
The other thing that stands out is the applied partial Arabic markers that standout with their very tall aspect which is magnified by the slightly smaller 33 mm case size as opposed to the usual 35 mm which also used these exact markers ( and look great ) but really pop on this dial.
It all ties in with the OEM crown which is of the early type rather than the 'r' signed crown which you would normally see with the applied 'r' of the dial.
The logo is itself one I have not seen before with it's colour scheme and mechanical construction being slightly different than the ones that came immediately after.
A very worthwhile addition to my Roamer collection and I won't hesitate to say is rare with it's combination of age and features, a must have for me!
