    That is definitely an interesting dial, and I don't have first-hand knowledge about that particular version. But it is fun to look at old advertising to get ideas for straps. Do you know the reference number for your watch (inside the case-back)?

    Thanks !! I don't know the # inside the case. I should have asked the watch maker when I had it serviced. He did say he thought it was from the 40's or 50's.

    I would guess 1960s actually. But other members may have a better estimate.

    Have we already had a thread on this watch? It looks familiar.

    Straps were optional but 7 row beads of rice, or leather are most likely.
