or, movement swap.

1935 is a little early for the 7AK,  a decade early?

This listing shows this watch as an outlier by a good 7 years, so it's looking more likelythat the movement is not original to the watch.

Also this discussion about the 7Ak and the questions around it time period.

IMO the movement has been replaced.

Along with the dial.  

The gap between the minutes track and case bezel is a little wide, particularly at the 12 and 6 O'clock positions.
