It’s a nice looking watch. I’m certainly no expert but to me it looks like a relumed, repainted dial, and likely polished case. From a collectors stand point it’s likely lost most of its “value” but it’s still a nice looking watch. If you’re looking for something with original dial, lume, hands and case this one is probably worth passing on.
