    Sold today. Cool dial though too small for the case. Repainted hands. Here are some photos:

    I see nothing to suggest that the watch is a franken. The dial does not look too small for the case either, in my opinion. The second hand is certainly incorrect. I am not certain about the hour and minute hands but they do not look totally incongruous. Below is another example of a reference 6377 that was also invoiced in 1953. This one has a correct second hand, and I prefer the shape of the hour and minute hands.

    Hand set is completely wrong.
