raised sunray pattern. \u00a0Original, I think it was white and the gold trim on the raised lines must have looked really sharp. \u00a0The dial now has a solid patina, but otherwise is in very good shape.<\/p>\n<p>The case itself is in decent shape, with a hint of brassing. \u00a0It measures 29mm. \u00a0 For the time being, I put it on a period JB Champion bracelet. \u00a0Just found an ad identifying it as the Capetown, 1956.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
