Very poor pics of the most important part, the dial.
Insert is a service version, wrong bracelet.

Agree with Andreas's observations; in addition, the replacement hands kind of kill the whole vibe for me. I think there are better pieces to be had.

Dial is authentic but with issues.
Lugs are starting to look pretty thin. Insert incorrect.

besides other questions .... it's a watch not produced in 1967 but in 1970 or in 1969.
if you search a sub from 1967 you must search only a 5512 or a 5513. |

The crown is also a replacement (ref. gasket Trip lock).
