Thoughts on this Geneve reference 2981?

Serial number corresponds to 1958. Dial, hands and crown appear original to me and in reasonably good condition. A bit of pitting here and there, but not unusual for a 61 year old example. Movement was serviced 4 months ago and the watch is keeping good time. Am I being overly optimistic or is this a good example of an early Geneve? Have at it, forum experts.

Very polished and worn case, it would be a pass for me at any price.
