·Have just made this purchase awaiting arrival, and was wanting to talk about the condition of this watch.
this is my knowledge of the dd watches:
As far as i know, this has been re-lumed, possibly in the 60s they replaced the radium with tritium.
With the double marked case back, second number means it was returned for repair during the war, the crown isn't original and possibly replaced in the war.
Old guy I'm buying it off has said hes owned it for 25 years and has mainly been in his drawer for that long, he was aware of a service but wasn't sure of any repairs made.
What do you guys think of condition, originality? and just chat about dirty dozens in general?
