Any chance this 165.024 dial is legit?

Nice find!
+2 on having the hour hand stabilized and filled and the minute hand redone to match- I have had that done to several and although they don’t pass the “UV” test and isn’t “original”, the lume is already gone on that minute hand and on its way out on the hour hand (it could disintegrate when they take the hands off to service the watch)- so no harm in having it redone properly IMO.

How long did it take to get the hands redone by LAWW? I live somewhat nearby so that’s definitely an option.

Redo/color matching is usually quicker than mechanical work but I would estimate 6-8 weeks as they are short staffed due to COVID19

Ahh thanks for the estimate. Doesn’t sound too bad!

@nkhandekar you are spot on! I’m always on the lookout for watch deals and art deals (mostly signed prints).
