Agree with @TNTwatch 100%
And would not buy a relumed watch unless at a significant discount
What would a significant discount be? Cost of a replacement, untouched dial? More? Less?

Thanks to the close-up shots one can definitely say that the hands and dial were relumed (it could have come out better, too...).

Also I wonder if the case back was also polished slightly or just a sign of wear...Maybe it's a tad expensive (as others have said...).

If it's an easy to find dial (and a really nice watch that makes the project worth it), I would subtract the cost of a new dial from the price, plus perhaps 10-15% more for the energy required for such a project. And even then it's not an "original" watch...

If it's an impossible to find dial I wouldn't buy it at all

Aren't these dials pretty much impossible to find all original now on their own?

Not impossible but will cost quite a bit probably...

Good work, but it's a relumed Dial + Hands🙁 and a replacement Crown, no Bracelet. I think 8 K $ is to much....

Here is my 105.012-65, also movement number 2400xxxx, for comparison. Dial type, pushers appear to be the same. I'm quite certain mine is not relumed. I think it's a very nice dial and the lume is not as perfect as the OP dial.
