Maybe I am looking too closely, but it seems to me that there is a funny dark black shadow surrounding all of the lume plots on the dial, as if they were cleaned and then re-lumed. The lume looks a bit sloppy, and I can't see the "step" passing through the lume. I would be interested in opinions from the experts.

Dan S, I don't consider myself an expert, but I agree something is not right about the lume... definitely looks redone. The crown is also a replacement. If dial was all original, and both Dan and I have our doubts, it would be a great price at just under 10k USD or 8,500 Euro.

Now, let's you and I sit back and wait for the experts...

@Dan S is an expert to me. Just sayin’

Relumed with a poorly mixed lume paste. The volatile chemical in it didn’t evaporate cleanly but spread out and marked the dial before it departed.

I think I’m less of an expert than @Dan S , so maybe you want to wait for those other experts?

Given the doubts but also the bad quality of the pics, it may worth ask the vendor about some more better detailed pictures.. At least you'll know for sure.

The guy does not live from me (around 40km from the location he gave), but I am really not enough an expert to say "if you'd like I can go have a look for you" 🙁

I’m thinking it might be stabilized plots?
