Looks like it's stamped iv60 which would indicate the 4th quarter of 1960.

Thanks, all...how likely it is original to a 1675 Gilt serial 1.22 million? Because from various internet sources, 1.22million could be produced from 1957 to 1965...seems a very wide range...compared to watches after 1970s...picture followed soon..cheers

Most 12XXXXX serial numbers have case backs dated mid to late 1964, i.e. IV 64 or III 64.

1960 is much too early for that serial number.

1.22m should be IV 64 case back. I would be more concerned about the corrosion on the perimeter of the case back and the dial appears to have been re-lumed, but in those pictures it's hard to tell. Also, the crown guards should be rounded and not pointed, again hard to tell from your pics.
