    A watch I’ve been after and didn’t buy after personal inspection about a year ago is now listed on C24 for 25k USD

    The brown of this dial is absolutely superb. A real eye catcher. Listed as original... :thumbsdown:

    This dial doesn’t like UV - nothing happens :whistling: be careful. Also the former owner used to offer it to me watch only, can’t recall talking of box and papers.

    :cautious:

    What is meant to happen to a tropical dial under UV?

    I believe he is indicating the lume does not appear to be the original lume. And that adds some doubt to the dial (cooked?)

    I am far from an expert, but that is the most evenly browned dial I have ever seen. Almost perfect turn to brown for a 50 year old dial
