    Hey everyone,

    This 'green' DON is currently up on eBay and was wondering if this could be natural? or is it more likely some post factory alterations?

    in the second photo it looks more black

    Whaddya reckon?

    To be honest the price it is being offered at might be a fair amount for a normal DON but the green worries me for some reason.

    Cheers,
    Ed

    I love the green but the general condition kept me from clicking BIN :)

    It's kind of what's stopping me too! maybe if it was a little less $$, but i think it will be gone before the seller needs to reduce the price.

    Also would have liked some pictures in natural light, but sometimes i guess you need to chance it.

    The main point is: do you have a Speedy to conditionwise match the Bezel? Otherwise it will look ..not very organic, even if it's green :)

    Hmm i guess i don't, but it would give me the excuse to buy a more worn speedmaster ;) - not sure if i'm going to be able to find a green dial though, maybe just the tritium faded to green :p
