Advice please on this Bullseye 6532...........
A good friend has a 6532 which he has offered to sell me, as he knows that I am looking at getting a birth year watch.
From the serial number 326*** we believe that it is from 1957.
Though he will confirm it once he has had the back case removed.
He has owned the watch for approx 13 years and in that time it has remained in his safe. He purchased the watch from a dealer who he believes bought it from the widow of the original owner.
Currently my friend is searching for a genuine strap and buckle.
Could the experts please take a look and say what they think?
I have looked at the dial through a loupe and there are signs of pitting on the surface of the dial, that can not be seen with the eye. There is also some oxidisation around the batons, were the luminous marker would have been.
I would also appreciate any feedback on the model and photos from other owners.
Thanks for looking.

I apologise for the quality of the photos. And yes there is a mark on the crystal above the 9 o'clock position.

produced in 1957. by the way not all watches in that period has the production time of the back punched inside. if you see for ex. the date " III-57 " : this is related to the time in which the back has been produced and not to the case production time.
Thank you................
