What Do These Pics Tell You About This 1960’s TOG?

I think there is a story here. The heavy patina on the bezel and the deep color of the lume tells me (from what I’ve read about gold patina and lume discoloration) that this watch has been undisturbed and likely in storage in a dark place for a long time. The condition of the lugs and case suggest it was only lightly worn prior to that (I don’t have a service history, so maybe it was polished before storage).
That’s my optimistic assessment – opinions appreciated!
