    Dial: Overall excellent presentation. Flaws that I notice (under loupe) are:

    1. looks as if one of the lume dots at 12:00 was re-applied and is a bit lighter in color than it's neighbor

    2. tiny scuffs (seen only under loupe and at an angle) at outer edge of dial at the 17-19 minute markers. Unable to visualize with naked eye.

    3. a few tiny scratches between 54-55 and above 56 and 57. unable to see these without loupe although they can be seen in the pics. also a few others that I can see with loupe, one between 19-20. again, only visualized under loupe, lamp and at an angle.

    Any other dial flaws, spots, scratches etc. are from the crystal.

    Hands: look like an old relume as they are lighter in color than the lume dots and match the color of the 12:00 lume dot as mentioned above. But very good/excellent overall and unoxidized. Looks like some lume spread at the tip of the minute hand.

    Case: Unpolished and in very good condition with a few superficial scratches on sides of lugs.

    Case back: Service mark inner case. Also an engraved service mark on outer case back . At least I think it's a service mark..

    Bezel: a few scratches most noticeable at 12, 6, 10 and 11. Tiny ding near crown.

    Movement: Very good shape with no scratched screw heads. Don't know when this was last serviced so please assume it needs one. Date snaps into place at 12:50 which makes me more convinced that the hands were relumed and replaced somewhat "casually" for lack of a better term...

    Strap: I don't have a diver's strap for this one. But do have plenty of other straps. Tell me what you might like and I'll dig around and see if I have something..

    Just reduced to $400 ONRO via pp friends (or you pay tax) or bank transfer.

    Shipping to lower 48 is on me. Would prefer a U.S. sale.

    Please don't hesitate to ask for more pics or info

    Thanks for the space OF!
