Dial seems like a repaint to me–The text looks white and the black surface matte instead of gilt and glossy. I also would have expected the Turler text to have a slightly different look than the rest of the script, as my understanding is that the retailer signatures were always added after the regular dial production process.
It's not impossible to find watches from the '60s, and even '50s, in stunning condition. But they usually are exceptionally rare and tend to go for a pretty penny due to their condition.
Taking the closeups into consideration, I still think the dial is repainted, primarily due to the fact that it doesn't exhibit the expected glossy black dial and gilt text (metallic, slightly recessed relative to the black finish, and reflective. Critically, not silver paint that has been applied atop the black lacquer and therefore looks raised). Given the dial has onyx or vulcanite inserts instead of being painted (suggesting it comes from before the cost-cutting of the late '60s), I would expect a true gilt dial here.
