Request opinions about Tudor 4540

Goodmorning everyone,
I was offered this Tudor ref. 4540 and I wanted to know your opinion on the piece, on the correctness of the same and know what you think as a reference.
Seen in pictures I like it a lot, it is a 34 mm but the graphics of the dial and the shape of the case a bit 'unusual attracts me a lot.
What do you think?
Thanks so much

Seems to be in good condition, all original and unrestored. That dial logo (rose in shield) is mid 1940s.

Are you sure it is 34mm excluding the crown? I'd say it is likely to be 31-33mm excluding crown.

34mm is correct for that reference. It was quite large for its time, similar to the Tudor 4463.

I confirm that the diameter is 34 mm excluding the crown ..... in fact I have not found many of that period with a diameter so 'big ... most all had a diameter of 31/32 mm ... anyway. ... the clock is traveling and should arrive in 3/4 days.
I will update you as soon as I receive it ..... thanks a lot to everyone for the advice !!!
