Neat watch, thank you for posting.

The caliber 20.28 is interesting, indeed. An evolution of the caliber 9.47N, with a number of differences such as the introduction of chatons, and revised lever and balance cocks. Of course, it was later replaced by the ubiquitous caliber 25.17.

Nice watch! I do have a question. Is the dial like flaking? It looks kinda like paper! Very cool look in my opinion

The rubbing against the edges of the case, humidity and 80 years have created that kind of patina.
