Could you please check between the lugs at 6 o'clock - is it the same reference? 7742 R?

As for the material, I suspect it is gold plated (that is often the case when the case back is steel).

 

I would check if you have any local watchmaker able to restor vintage watches or through your local GP AD ask to send it to Swithzerland.

I have one of these! It belonged to my grandfather. And I just re-discovered it the other day! It's gold - not sure if gold-plated, gold-filled, or 'proper' gold. Stainless steel back. Missing the upper crown. As you can see, she needs some TLC and an ove...
