    Some lume has chipped off markers
    Don’t know the exact term, where the hands are set on watch, piece missing
    Lume missing from hands
    Sub hands look a little rusty

    Thoughts on pursuit of this watch
    Was too quick on the trigger then phone went crazy on pictures
    Serial number from charts I can find indicate a ‘68

    Can you read the serial number? It's too blurry, I can't make out the second digit. "6"? Do you have photos that show more of the lugs from the top and side? Caseback?

    Case pics? Back of case pic?

    So far it definitely seems a bit short of stellar.

    Of course, you need to check the basics like the movement number and stuff, but that dial would keep me away. I've bought a few with crappy dials and they're always disappointing.

    I would spend a bit more and pick up the one George has on offer.

    Serial number as per the website is 26,5XX,XXX which dates it to Sep 1968 as per ILMS.com

    The lume flaking off the dial is a big turn-off though.
