·This deserves an update.
I have delved into the subject since, and have found ( 'with a little help from my friends' ) these lugs are indeed correct. In some gold capped watches, not limited to Eterna, the topside and only the topside was gold capped, meaning the cap isn't supposed to reach around the bend. Given the condition of the watch and the intricacy of the chamfers, logic dictated this to me from the get-go, but this was literally the first watch I had found to feature this finishing. Therefore I felt it couldn't be right. It now turns out I wasn't right.
I'll post some pics I snapped today, to make up for the long read. Initially, given my fear for the ruined lugs, I was unhappy with this acquisition. Knowing what I do now, however, I'd rate this watch in excellent condition and I am very pleased to wear it.
@Mafkees Bit late to this, but wanted to share my gold-capped Eternamatic Centenaire from slightly earlier than yours (based on the font used for "Centenaire"). Interestingly, my non-chronometer Centenaire from late-1959 or early-1960 has gold cap the extends all the way to the end of lugs (e.g. all the way around the bend). After a service and regulation it keeps chronometer spec time, better than some of my Omega Constellations. Centenaires are fantastic and underappreciated!

·I broke out my 1948 Eterna Automatic yesterday. @ChrisN serviced it last year and it keeps dead accurate time, to within about a second a day across three positions.

·Hi!
What would you think of this one’s condition and originality? I think the dial looks clean but am not too sure about the case…
Thanks!

·I fitted a Bonklip style bracelet on my 1942 Eterna. Thoughts?

·FYI
there's a 1st year Kontiki, 1958, dress version on eBay now
for auction. looks almost unpolished.
I already have one, so...
