Help identifying a 1655

Hello-

Just been really trying to get these figured out.
I wonder if you can tell me if I’m correct with my identification-

I think:
3.5m serial
Mark 1 dial
Later hands (or at least seconds hand) - as should be straight not lollipop for MK1 dial.
Correct brushed silver date wheel
Maybe a mark 2 bezel? Or is it mark 3? Struggling there!
Bracelet is later obviously

Anything I’ve missed?
Thanks!

I want to go like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

I’m playing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order!

Looks like you're on the money here, OP. I'm not seeing anything else of any real concern. Gorgeous 1655.. the bezel numerals can easily be touched up without disturbing the history of this one.. otherwise quite nice condition on this one!
