I believe this is from eta as they are the only company apart from the cloning mob that use this sort of stud on the bridge and the goofy flower shock novodiac spring! However I find the balance wheel to be different from most I have seen! Anyone know or have seen this type before and how to regulate? Rolex uses micro stellar screw adjustments with a special tool! Is this similar? Thanks!

Neither have I. All of my radium dials look like some variation of this -- Geiger Counter.MP4

The dial looks very good! You can't beat an 'old rolex'. I have a 6430 Speedking, new from an AD in 1972 ($125US), worn only a couple times shortly after I bought it. The watch would probably pass for nos and I always thought I paid $130 for it but I looked it up just now and it was $125 OTD (out the door). I never paid any attention to the markings on the dial and always figured it had tritium lume, but the dial developed what appears to be 'radium burn' where the hands were left in the same position for over 40 years. I have not looked at it in a while and I'll take a picture of the dial next time I run across it, according to my notes it was made in 1969. If it does have tritium, could trit also cause dial burn? I never heard of it. Have a nos 6694 serial 88xxxxx ($925 OTD from AD), parked since 1989 and it shows no trace of 'dial burn' on the tritium lume dial. The $925 figure was probably list price because I bought it on 'The Rolex Plan' where you paid for the watch in 12 equal monthly installments. At least they knocked the sales tax off. Q...Why would I buy two new watches and put them away? A...Because they were manual wind oyster case rolex watches...the end of an era. A fellow who worked at RUSA NYC back then told me the 6694 was from the last run.

Now looks like a proper burn instead of a pizza stain but still too yellow for old radium

Very nice combo! Beautiful piece.
