Dial may be too far gone to bring back, but looks fine. Really would like to know when the 3 minute markers started to be used on the dials, this is another very early one.

Does look pretty much correct. Probably a 1942 model. The "Anti-Magnetique" lower script is very uncommon and something I've not seen on these before. Hard to tell from the pics exactly how bad the dial is damaged. Looks like its pretty rough below the 5 & 6.

I think '42 was the year the 369 ticks were added (or at least the majority began having them). All I've seen from '36-'40 did not have them, but in '42 almost all do. Looking in Richter; there seem to be still a few versions in '53 that did not, making the ID process that much harder.
