Jack, if you get the dial redone, I'd go with Kirk Rich in California. Since it's not in the Master Book, we probably can't know exactly what the original print was, but there are a few other Import Curvex models from around that 1935 range in the book. They seem to have art deco-ish designs, and Kirk Rich does a great job with that style. I used International for my steel Curvex and wasn't thrilled with the result even after two attempts. That said, Kirk Rich is vastly overpriced and they take forever. But you'll likely get a good result, and I think this is a watch that's worth it.
As for poaching, you snooze, you lose, and I was dozing on this one.
