    Really digging the dial and style of this watch but I'm concerned about the originality of the dial. The serial number on the movement dates this to around 1935. I've compared with others online and some of my own but I am still second guessing. This is an auction ending in about 24 hours so I'm hoping to get some quick expert help before it passes. I've also asked the seller for a close-up photo of the dial text and will update if I get anything.

    My vote is original dial, hands look good too.

    Just realizing the brushing on the bezel is horizontal rather than circular. This is incorrect, no?

    Case has seen some polishing, yes. And some pitting around the back. But I think it`s a cool watch.
