Tudor watch - need info

Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this Tudor watch I stumbled across. The watch shop indicates its from the 1960s, and to my naive eye, it sure looks like it probably is. I was curious if anyone could tell me if this looks like the dial has been refurbished, or if that stuff going on up by the number 12 looks like real damage (or possibly just a camera flash?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Dial has been repainted badly. That rose-in-shield logo was only produced from 1946 to 1947. Reflected light around the 12 seems to be bouncing off that cheap aftermarket bracelet.

Yes a repaint as Adam says they ran out of ideas/ink on Shock Resisting, might be a 34mm 7934 or something like that with a repainted dial is c £500 tops. Ps crown if orig. is old style…bracelet from Liberace's funeral sale perhaps;-)
