Hi Lorenzo
From my experience, I've not seen a flat colour enamel style dial on these 60s / 70s vintage GP alarms, but that doesn't mean they didn't originally exist. The sunburst dials - silver or gold - are more ubiquitous. However the "GP" and "Alarm" lettering l...
The crown at 2 o’clock (eBay)
usually has a raised “A” on it from what I have seen. Caveat … I don’t collect vintage as much and mainly focus on NEO-vintage. The GP alarm pieces I have are 38 mm ref 4940. Good luck 🤝
