Watch Description

I think it's a Beau Brummell from 1960 but worried it's a re-dial. Can't find any images with the "30 jewels" text down low on these models. Thoughts?

This is a rare one.   Found the match in the 1961 LineBook BAWD0147 Page 53 of 60.

Thank you very much for looking up! I've seen a few images that are similar looking online myself. Is it fair to say the dial has been messed with on mine? Noticed the "30 jewels" and "self winding" script are in the wrong places on mine! Re-dial??? Thanks again

I tend to believe the dial is original, but it's hard to say as we have not had one of these submitted prior to yours. Linebook entry is from 1961, a year newer than watch. It's possible it changed from 60 to 61, but also possible the dial text was re-applied to the original dial during a service/resto. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, it's a great and unusual watch!.
