dial originality and period correctness

Lack of compax, compur, etc on dial. Early version?

285 movement.. Looks good?

Sorry, I know....I should have said.....

Instead of Universal Geneve on the axis approx from 2 to 10, and compur at 3/4 to 8/9, it has Universal Compur on one line, no compur below.

I do see and early pocket watch with the same layout.

As well as this one....so I just need to re-look at fonts and printing. They seem ok but I'll do a closer comparison.

Ok...another dial. Seem safe there.

I just don't see a Swiss or Fab Suisse on the one I'm looking it. Did very early ones not have that?
