    I'm wondering whether it is a redial? Can't find any other similar pictures of models like this, and it's lacking the "Swiss" at the 6 o'clock, although I'm seeing a lot of other GPs from the vintage era that don't have it either.

    Seems to have even patina, that would argue against a redial, and as far as I can tell, the font seems OK.

    There's really no information on GP serial numbers at all online that I can find.

    Thoughts?
    Help is appreciated!

    Now that I look at it again, I can see the Swiss Made just barely at the 6 o'clock

    awful pics... therefore not sure about the dial.
    You have seen that the gold is rubbed on the lugs as it seems?

    Like the gold is rubbing off? Which lugs? I'm looking at it now and I can't tell where you're referring too

    4th pic, bottom lug.
    The pics are so overexposed, be careful.

    I haven't seen 'incabloc' written below a GP logo before to be honest...

    Had a look at the movement, it does have an incabloc spring around the jewel that's visible. Also, many other GP Incabloc when you type search on google images. I received a few extra pictures, looks better in these:

    Any thoughts on the state of the case itself?

    I.e. Do you think the case is over polished?
