No, I haven't and I really like the early Gilt numeraled Dials.

Not a common piece, that's for sure.

1932 ad "Prentice". Notice the same coverage over the "6".

EDIT:- Forgot to say the ad came from Lisa .  :^D

Bingo.  Ad states two-tone, handsomly engraved, jewels/dial match. Supject watch even looks a little "curved to fit the wrist". 
Wow with all the ads in the last six months, were knocking out the unknowns! 
Prentice from me!
