·First, the photos.
"""
Movement No 5’539’287
Case No 1’660, further stamped 67
Delivered with Longines Extract from the Archives dated 28th November 2019,
confirming the present watch was sold on 3rd December 1937 to the company Ostersetzer, Longines’ agent for Italy.
"""
Unfortunately, Longines Archives confirmed this watch originally came with WHITE Dial.
Although I believe this dial is possibly a correct configuration for a 35mm 3T, this is another one of those frankens or whatever you may call it, very common in Longines 3T's.
Also, the dial condition is very poor as well, and damage marks around the edge of the dial suggest this dial originally came in a smaller watch, and was swapped later on.
Below is a capture of the email from Longines heritage department.
