Anyone know anything about my Oyster Perpetual dial

Here is a picture.

Anyone know anything about it? Time period and such? It is going in my 1960 1003 case with a 1560 movement.

I love the way it looks. Just wish the watch was a bit bigger. Doesn't really matter though because I have a small wrist. It measures 6" around, so it doesn't really look too small.

Looks '80's to me. In your '60's watch it would be kinda like playing your Sargent Peppers album and inserting a Michael Bolton song in the middle...
IMHO of course,

IIRC, "T Swiss T" was used starting around 1960 and used for quite a while - well into the 80's (?). Given that span, your dial could be from 1960, but is more likely later.

If you like the dial, I say use it and enjoy. Many watches of 1960 vintage will have had a later service dial installed during service anyway.
