Possible 1008 Zephyr- info needed please

Hello,
I am looking for some information on this watch. I was told it was a 1008, which I believe to be a Zephyr. I have seen a couple with the rose gold bezel but none with this face/dial. I am wondering if this has indeed been replaced. Can anyone enlighten me? Also, since I acquired it, o have no real idea of value for insurance purposes. Many thanks, Billy

What is the serial range between the lugs. What is the number opposite of that between the lugs on the other side?n That would determine a lot of things...especially with regard to that dial. Swiss only...sure it's possible but pre 63 basically.

The dial...hmmm...well it's smells refinished to me. There are no lume dots. The hands...are lume...that really doesn't go together well either. The zephyr bezel did not always dictate a cross style zephyr dial but more often than not. The dauphine hands were possible at a point...many strange hand styles come on the watch. is it rose gold or yellow? Seems the rose gold ones did come with black dials...and white dials...the yellow ones I have seen with both of those and also yellow
gold dials.

I was given the watch and can't see the number- will need to remove strap, but don't have necessary tool. I was told circa 1962. It's looks to me like a light rose gold similar to 'old' gold. But not what you would call yellow gold. Apologies for being a bit vague, I'm rather new to this game! Many thanks indeed for your replies!!
