yep, had this one before.

dial is a 808 Gen. 2 "arrow baton" post 1962, but the watch is from 1960, dial should have different batons at 12.

dial is refinished, here is how the Gen.1 should look:
Edit: better pic now of correct one, quite a lot is missing from that dial in the sales link ! creatively repainted.
