That looks like many repaints I've seen.

Not an expert, but I'm sure more will offer their input.

I'm not sure that you need more opinions about the authenticity of the dial, now that Marcello has piped in, however we have no other information, e.g. SN, to judge whether it might be a service dial or not. You need to look at the rest of the watch and determine the fair value in its current head-only state, how polished it is, any signs of corrosion, etc.

Floating swiss t 25

Hi, I have the same 4M serial with the exact dial configuration. I noticed that the "swiss t 25" is floating- there are markers above and below it. Does this make this correct for the 1974 1016? Hope the experts could chime in. Thanks in advance.
