Looks fine to me, and the case doesn't look too bad for me given that it's close to 50 years old.

Dial, all hands and sliderule ring seem to be all authentic , I actually like this dial layout with the AOPA wing
very clean movement with the right markings (WOG)
I am disappointed with the case a little bit as it looks like the watch was not taken apart before cleaning , you can still see the green oxidation on the bottom side of the pushers and crown .

serial number dates it to 1963, and here's my one question : "were there still 806's with an AOPA marked wing in '63?, or was there another run with an AOPA wing on the dial and not just the AOPA shaped wing " (I dont know)

oh, and the crown seems a bit large for the watch ?
