    Hi,

    got a nice 166,024 offered. It's 69 and I think everything is correct, including the screw-down crown of this late model, but wait for more pictures of the movement and the inner case. The only thing I doubt is this type of corrosion or fungal attack around the indexes. I do not like it and if this is not repairable I will not take it. What do you think of?


    Best regards
    Jürgen

    Hi,

    What do you mean by "repairable"? Removable or relumable? :)
    It's either dust (which I doubt) or due to some water damage, or the lume that went off from the indices or a former reluming that went bad...
    To my mind when it's a diver I usually tick the box water damage but without closer pictures it's hard to tell tbh

    I mean, maybe it's cleanable without reluming. Lume seems original to me.

    The lume looks like this (or worse) on 90% of these watches. This one is actually fairly attractive. Nothing can be done short of reluming.

    Agreed. This lume is pretty good compared to most.
