Sometimes it's tough to decide, but this one looks ok to me. But then again, I could be wrong. Some of those re-lumes/re-dials are hard to spot.
Any input appreciated!

Here's a photo I edited so you can see the "shape" of the lume. It appears to be original tritium, with my edited photo you can make out the pores and the "hilly" nature of the tritium. It does not appear smooth as super luminova.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Interesting. And thanks! But then again: Could it be a re-lume, albeit done some years ago? I thought it looked a bit "too good to be true" given the even color of the patina. Or am I just being a bit paranoid?

Can we see the whole dial, or the auction link? |

I have seen that one as well , I believe its a relume the 4 '2' s all look very different from each other . not what I am used to seeing . what bothers me.. most Breitling lumers stayed well within the lines on the dial with the lume , which creates uniformity in appearance , even with so many '2' 's .. on that one they didnt stay within the lines , almost to cover up old traces ? , but as they worked outside the lines the numbers have lost their uniformity |
