Default is it me or does this one look odd?

Saw this on the bay...




Looks like it needs a bezel..? No..?

Certainly no expert, especially for the 40's types (which I imagine it is).

I've seen the cathedral hands before on Lemanias, I've seen the case and coffin pushers as well, but never the two together - but that's most probably down to a lack of seeing one rather than saying the watch has been 'put together'.

I don't think it necessarily had a bezel originally, although it looks as if it should do - but at this age I don't think there were many bezeled watches anyway - happy to be corrected as ever.

Here are a few examples I dug up -

A 1940's one which looks to be the same(ish) except for the hands -


And a 1930's one showing the cathedral hands -
