    Those hands... The ones I've seen has all had rectangular lume, this one has a triangular - have they been replaced?

    The case looks in great shape and it looks to me solid gold right? I like that aspect of it a lot. Although the dial has some aging, especially in the railtrack, I don´t find it disturbing and I think it is to an extent being amplified by the scratches in the crystal which are making things appear worse than they are. If the back and movement are good I´d say go for it if the price is right. Regarding the hands I´m not sure at all whether they have been replaced or not, but my gut says they are correct judging from the lume colour which looks to match what little of the indices lume that I can see, particularly on the 9 O´clock marker

    Has the case been "texturized"?

    I think it is reflection of the background surface

    Certainly looks that way. Thank you for your assesment, these are a rather unknown quality to me, but the overall condition looks good, bar the mangling of the caseback from attempted openings of the case ::facepalm2::

    It's solid gold and houses a cal. 561.

    You'd think that, wouldn't you?

    The advert actually states it's a 561...
