Possible 51825 Turn-O-Graph Need some help identifying

Hi all, so a good friend of mine is trying to do some digging on his Father's vintage date just. He asked for some assistance but I seem to be having a bit of trouble. To me, it seems to be a 51825 Turn-O-Graph but the thing that is throwing me off is the lack of a mag window. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The reference number is off, are you sure about that?

If the case says 51825 between the lugs it is the serial number and then the reference number should be 6602. Otherwise the normal reference numbers for a TOG is either 1625 or eg 16253(for a two tone).

The lack of magnification might just mean that it sometime in the past got an aftermarket crystal installed.

Just means the acrylic crystal was replaced with a non OEM part. No problem there.

It looks like it has a pipe-pan dial, in that case it is a 1625.
