For me the history of those watches trumps everything else-- and my personal choice is that I do not discuss their lume or any other horological minutia.

apart from an objectionable verb, I’m fully in agreement

The dial has wear for sure, and the hands are relumed. The dial can be relumed, or the radium has become «puffy» because of humidity. Hard to tell throug the plexiglass IMO. But I like how it is presented with the flexiband and full of dirt.
sure it has lots of dirty around, what I don't like

value of the watch can be affected dramatically if it's relumed....?? As I see different prices of this particular watch I want to be on the safe side , thanks

Value of the watch is affected dramatically by the fact many people don’t want a piece of war equipment from nazi Germany in their house, let alone on their skin. The lume is a tiny detail in the grand scheme of things.
