Thank you Adam (yours looks great too!) and thank you all for your nice comments! It is intresting, half of the dial is brown and the other one is darker, a sort of PM & AM dial!

Wasn't this watch the inspiration for the sub? That's what I heard and I can see that it looks like a pre-sub. Is this pre-1954? Around that time?
