Nice movement
Hi
very nice movement, it is of the 30T2 series (look under the balance wheel and you will see exactly which - I would guess a 30T2AM as it does not have parachoc/incabloc.
Case is a Dennison, hour hand is a correct leaf hand, the minute hand is a stick hand from another watch.
The dial is obviously an old redial, first because the border of the subseconds dial is smoothened by teh paint, while it should be sharp. Second, because as SteveW pointed out the five-seconds rail in the small dial is incorrect (and also may be out of center).
The case cannot be 30mm, because the movement is 30mm itself (they are called "30mm") so it is more like 32-33mm at least. The movement is of the same series (30mm) of the 269 you mention. They changed nomenclature in 1949, and became like this:
30T2PCAM = 260
30T2PCAM = 261
30T2RG = 262
30T3PCAM = 265
30T3PCAM = 266
30T4PCAM = 267
30T5PCAM = 268
30 T6 PC AM = 269

Nice looking watch.

Clean looking T26.5 movement in a nice case. Not too sure of the originality of the dial, however, the pictures aren't too good. IMHO the subseconds markers should be precisely located at the periphery of the sunken area with no gap, so maybe a non-factor...
Nice movement

Well spotted!

I admit I assumed the movement was T26.5 because of the watch's size without doing due diligence. Over the years I've never seen a T28 so maybe it's somewhat rare. On the other hand I probably ignored most 30mm diameter watches. If the OP likes a smaller ...
Thanks!

Thanks for all of the information guys...been a brilliant help! The vendor says that the concentric circles in the sub second dial are still crisp so that's why they believe it isn't a refinish. I think the markings do go to the edge on the sub second dia...
