Is that a 6294? That dial is perfect and reflects its experience properly. I have a 1954 version, very similar, but with a honeycomb dial. Unfortunately it had to be refinished in 1987 due to damage. Just about my favorite and it gets worn often. It runs perfectly.

I do not think your 1953 model should have a cyclops. My mid 1954 does not. The cyclops started to appear in production in late '54. I like the cleaner look without it. You might also.
