Hi guys,

Please share your thoughts and give me a price range if possible.
Serial starts with 932XXX
Cheers

Thanks for the info. Is there a thread on the issue of reluming an old dial? How does it affect the watch's value? Manfred |

Watch serial is 9327XX Based on the fairly poor pictures you present, I wouldn't hesitate for a second that it's all original, that the numbers never have been redone, and pay accordingly. But maybe René sees or knows something that I don't, and it would be interesting to know, if so....... Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com |

Didn't you just post the same exact watch two days ago? Kurt said original Dracha said relumed. Anyway I had a '63 with similar puffy lume and wouldn't hesitate to buy this watch for a good price. ... Crystal is wrong but that's an easy fix. What is the price? And... If you pass please forward me the details  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com I suspect relume because the 8 and 5 look 'off' , not done fluently but hesitant also all the painted numbers look to be completely filled in, not a trace of paint number to be seen on the dial anymore anyway , just trying to do a best guess off not so good pics

Especially since many of these later all black dials appear to have lume which has gotten extra puffy and porous over time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
