After a lengthy stay of over a month at my Watchmaker this is finally completed, the delay was mostly my making as my watchmaker had handed the outer dial chapter ring back to me for me to repair the truly awful job a previous watchmaker had done of affixing loose batten markers.
I had to remove all but 2 of the battens markers which I am guessing are the only 2 the previous watchmaker didn't touch.
Here is the finished watch, far from a 100% as the glue previously used to afix the battens when removed also removed the painted minute markers and clear coat, I spent a lot of time researching and experimenting on ways to repaint them but in the end decided it would be best not to refinish them but just try and minimise the damage done. The previous watchmaker had also lost one of the originals and had substituted another at the 12 o'clock point.
Movement needed a few bits replaced as did the stem but luckily my watchmaker had all the ETA parts to hand.
Was it worth it? Probably not but these in this dial variation are very rare, probably for the same reason as mine was a basket case and all the ( very few) online images I could find all suffered from the same batten problem with them at inconsistent placing and weird angles due there only being one afixing stud point per batten and them rotating upon it, mine were all sheared off!
Any-who, best I could achieve with what I had and it means this Titoni can have a second life.

As it was when it first arrived with it weirdly angled markers and glue covered chapter ring.
