路Been off the radar for quite some time with family, work and other things but hopped back on today and saw this post.
I watches this one carefully and IMHO you got a bloody bargain, so the following link might be useful

Your 64 has a one year only case design so if I where you I would hold on to it as its a Ed White in a one year only case and looks very nice and original. If you haven't got time to read the link then in short virtually of the 64's had non bevelled case edges, as yours does, I am wearing my own 64 today
As a summary appraisal of your watch:
Case: very clean, unlikely to have been refinished and showing very little sign of wear, under no circumstances allow anyone to refinish it.
Bezel: as above
Bracelet: as above
dial and hands: original and although the lume has gone a bit 'fluffy' I would advise you leave it untouched.
In short, get the case and bracelet cleaned and the movement serviced by an expert, put the papers in a sealed back and treasure them and enjoying wearing what is a very special watch and in superb condition.
And if you don't want it, just let me know and I will gladly call dibs on that beauty
Just my two penneth
Out of curiosity, what causes the lume to go fluffy? I had thought it might be humidity or water...
