I'm starting the hunt for a birth year watch, as close to 1960 as I can get. Suddenly the DJ has not only started to sing to me but it is screaming at me. I'm having a heck of a time finding reference material on the Internet. I'm trying to find a 36mm, fluted bezel, SS or TT With a grey pie pan dial. Or gold dial for TT. I'm finding dozens on the net, some the same, some different. I can't figure out the differences in the reference #'s. What ref am I looking for? 1600, I think that's the smooth bezel, 1601, 1603, 1605, 6426, 6425 think that's the Thunderbird. I know this is not a high dollar purchase but I'm trying to get it right. I only need the head, plan on putting it on an old vintage strap. This whole dilemma is getting in the way of the B line I was on for my Tutor Heritage Ranger. Looking for something like this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

6426 is an oyster precision manual wind, 1625 is the thunderbird. Also, most dials up to 63' usually have discoloration, spotting or damage. They're swiss only and I don't believe the pie pan you want was offered that early

It would also likely have Dauphine hands, possibly Alpha, definitely won't have sticks though

1601 is fluted two tone and steel version
