Help identifying this mystery watch

Hi All,

I came across this watch locally online. The seller has no info on it. Part of an estate. Did a quick google search that did not produce any results. Can anyone identify this?

Thanks

Dial has been redone.
And looks like a smaller watch. 32mm? 28mm ?

The “Y” is leaning on the “O”…that’s a good sign that it has been badly redone…

I think this happens with old watches over time, since the "Y" gets tired of standing on one leg for decades and decades.

At best a poor redial, at worst a fake.

Not a fake. A redial due to missing text on bottom half.

Watch looks to be 34 MM - not 28 as some have suggested - due to size of crown compared to case.

Could be a manual or a 1030 based like a 6565 (tiny chance could be a Tudor with a refinished Rolex script ; ) )
