    This looks, from the style of the lugs and the case, to be late 1940s or early 1950s. So it should have a cal 351 inside. But I am uncertain about the dial. However, this may well be a European variation which we don't see here in the UK.

    "Fab Suisse" is quite common on European watches rather than the bottom mark Swiss or Swiss Made I have one or two and am just waiting on a nice little Fab Suisse 26.5 coming over from Belgium

    Pretty sure this is an older redial. I rather like this pattern, in fact I believe Tissot still uses one very similar.

    I agree that this probably has a cal. 351 or 354 under the hood.

    Agreed. Fab Suisse is too large a font, among other things.

    If the price is right, it's still a nice case and in good shape, probably a cal 28.10.

    Just a question to the experts: Don't the markers look off?

    No, but I think the printing is off a bit, which would cause the markers to look like they were off-kilter.

    Also, a closer look shows that the redialler put ink on top of the markers at the corners.

    Sloppy work,
