(Bear in mind that 145.012-67s seem to suffer lume loss more frequently than others.).

Ain’t necessarily so

I would be interested in seeing a glow shot of the lume to actually see what is present. It still would not ensure that it was original and/or not prepped, but at this point it is tough to tell what is even present on the dial. That point at least makes it hard to compare to the others in this thread. I certainly don't like the missing paint from the center points of the hands on this listing, damaged typically caused when unfitting/refitting the hands after disassembly.


More interesting would be a daylight shot without any filter to see
A) real condition of case and bracelet
B) the glossy or matte dial

Next step IF it’s a glossy dial, would be a uv light shot.

I know my opinion means nothing; HOWEVER I agree you could definitely take some better pics to go with that beautiful watch. Try a homemade light box. Seriously just an opinion as we all love those right. Sure is a fine example. I think people pay more in auction. What if you get a good offer but you will always wonder what auction could bring when people get into their bidding wars.

A light box would be sub optimal cuz it softens the light and this can hide a lot of scratches

Well, can't say if your example is the best in the world...but for sure, I have the smartest dog in the world:

I think your dog is the dumbest - mine is much smarter since all he does is poop, and he has me to pick it up for him...😉

Were you tempted to do that before reading the thread? 😁

Over confidence can work for you but most times it will definitely work against you.

Yes.. I think this was the main provocation to describe the watch as the best in the world....but he did it on ebay and the seller did not open this thread!

And the right thing to do. But then I've seen a bloke a few years back who after picking up his dogs poo took a tissue out of his pocket and wiped the dogs ass. No lying.
Sorry about the thread drift.
