Looks like ref 1007.
But I have never seen a dial like that.
I am speculating that someone cut the track from another dial and put it on top of the original dial.
It looks like there is a gap between the two.

@The moose
Have you checked all the other posts by the IGer you're referencing? S/he may have posted it earlier and tagged the Ref number.

Ref 6569 I'd imagine. I've seen similar dials before as well from the era, I don't doubt its authentic. A very beautiful watch, a shame the dial has suffered over the years.

I would guess 6532 or 6332 due to flat sides. Also, I think 1007 should be SOCC. 6332 had two piece dials...

Once you find out the correct answer, please post

I agree a 6532 with a tuxedo dial. Ive seen quite a few 6532s with the 2-tone tuxedo dials. There are actually 2 of them on the bay right now.

Respectfully disagree with Vlad and offrdmania. It's not a two-tone dial, appears to be a double-sunk. The reason I am sticking my neck out to disagree is that I have one of the double-sunk dials and tried to fit it on a 6532: it's too big, 28 mm, and the 6532 takes a 27pointsomething dial.

it's not a 2-tone dial, it's a two piece dial. However, unless someone tells me another model with flat sides, I'm sticking with 6532. Yes, 5506 (GP Airking) had flat sides, so did Bonbay models - but they are nothing like this one.

You are absolutely correct, Vlad. The 6532 has flat sides. The photo doesn't give much idea of scale, though. I've never seen the "finely turned" bezel on a 6532. I have seen it on a great many bubblebacks, and some of these have sides that are quite flat, whether factory or over-polished.
