It looks fine but you'll have to check the serial to see if it's a period correct dial. The second hand has been replaced and is too short.

I saw the original ad. Says from 1965 which means the dial should be gilt.

1.2m should make it 65, so that is correct. It's got a tritium dial as s waspy1 pointed out so it must have had it's dial replaced at some point.
