This is my grandpas old pocket watch. I’ve searched through the web but couldn’t find a similar dialed pocket watch to this. Maybe an expert from the forum can help me please

Just an educated guess that you aren't going to find another one like it because it was refinished at some point.

Do you think the dial has been changed?

Yes.
The original dial has been re-finished (stripped, repainted etc).

Serial numbers date the watch to 1935-1941.

Ohh okay so re-finishing it again wouldn’t damage the value of it? Or do you think it has a value?

Unfortunately this isn’t like having an old speedmaster. The $ value is for sale as parts, which won’t be much especially as it might be completed rusted underneath. The sentimental value is something only you can decide if you want to pursue restoration

The dial looks quite similar to a type of wood
