·Appreciate the closer pictures! I’m changing my assessment of the hands based on #4 and #6.
I’m inclined to agree these aren’t painted.

Hmmm, this is rather odd. i have handled many vintage watches over the years, but the only examples of the use of shoulderless spring bars in 'no lug hole' cases have been on (potentially one-owner/family) Speedmasters: a 145.022-71 and now this 105.003-65. Rather makes me think they were meant to be there... perhaps?
When I find one hand with cracked lume, I automatically stabilize all three hands.

Thanks Al, this is a really good shout. Hour marker plots, also? Does the stabilizer itself age with time, and perhaps change the lume colour? difficult to know in the long-term I suppose and will be subject to all sorts of variables.
This watch looks all original and exactly in the condition I like finding them. Used, but not abused.
It's heartening to see that eBay is still a place to find 'good deals'.
thank you for the updated assessment.
