Thanks guys! Thats a really cool one from 1969. The hardest thing to find when i've been looking is examples that haven't been way overpolished. Maybe I could source a faded insert later. "buenosdiasone" on Instragram has some really nice ones. I'm sure he won't mind me sharing his pic. It's interesting how they all fade a little differently. And rare to see fading to the blue side with little fading to the red side.
If that is the same watch then that looks much more like it should patina-wise. Also the polishing is much less aggressive which leads me to think it was also a result of photoshop enhancing the steel as it is also a little to vivid and white-ish. while on the photo above done outdoors it looks just about right and maybe in need of some cleaning (lower right) which is good. the crown-guard and the edge on that corner lug leads me to think it is not over-polished after all.
It's a good buy if the price is right, but an original 1675 insert may cost you.
The seller told me "The dial is in perfect condition, I don’t know if it’s restored from someone"
Ah yes. The old Italian Patina look !
I've looked at examples of relumed dials and it almost always appears obvious when a dial has been relumed. Someone on rolexforums pointed out to me that its possible to alter the colour of the plots without reluming. You are right though, this watch is from an Italian dealer.
