5512 thoughts?

Any thoughts on this 5512? Looks to be original to me. I like the patina. Thank you in advance. Chris

I was studying this watch and the "SWISS" at the bottom would make it a Radium luminescent dial which I thought stopped in 1960, and this one is apparently from 1968/69 era according to the description and case back. Is that possible or is it a dial switch?

Tritium took of with marking T SWISS T in 1960.

So valid point about SWISS on dial, and to me it does look relumed - look at the baton a t 3 o'clock?

still a nice piece
