Hey guys! Just got my 105.003-64 a week back 😁, managed to get some time to shoot it, what do you guys think? p.s. I did swap out to a faded modern pulsation bezel for some of the day shots, definitely not period correct, but I think it does go pretty well with it 😜

BTW do the hands look relumed to anyone? they look unusually white for a 50+ year old watch

Nice watch, but mate, I was born in 1964 and resent you prematurely ageing me...and your watch [emoji33]

just can't bear to risk damaging the DON bezel, so i threw on one i could use as a beater 😉
ps oops i just realised i typed 60+ rather than 50+ my bad! @arcadelt

I like it very much with the pulsation bezel!! Lovely dial as well. Wear in good health.

anyone with experience here can tell if the hands have been repainted?

The consistency of the cracking in the paint on all 6 hands suggests to me that they were all painted around the same time. It doesn't look like a repaint to me, I guess anything is possible, but I would lean toward original tritium. The hands could have been replaced during a service at some point all the way up until the 90s and still be tritium hands. But I think your watch looks great, just enjoy it and don't sweat the hands at all.

The lume on the hands looks good to me. The hands themselves can stay "bright white" for a very long time ... I don't see why they're not original.

To me the hands look pretty good and can fairly be considered original. Congrats!

Too short
Sometimes it is the distortion of the crystal that creates the illusion that the hands are shorter or longer.
I assume this watch is on the service crystal and hence more domed. Creating the effect of the shorter hand and longer indices.
On a flat polished original crystal, the dial looks alot different.

This one is far too short to be distorsion. For comparison, it must touch the outer edge of the second track.
