Nice looking 165.024 up for auction.
Looks to me like a very rare UK only lumed 12 dial, correct insert too.

Not sure about the bracelet.
Mine came to me via a dealer, from a Glasgow pawn shop, on it’s (I assume) original 1506/16 bracelet with absolutely no stretch, watch and bracelet pretty untouched.
I bought it on condition and originality, was completely unaware of the lumed 12 at the time

Nice spot and a nice example by the look of it. Would be good to confirm that first digit of the serial number that can’t be seen in the photos.

Even the crystal looks original, flat foot logo.

Big Triangle. Lumed 12.

The big triangle makes these watches so much more appealing, and the circle t doesn't do it any harm either.

I used to think the same (as does the buying market I think)
But a nice 12 dial is getting so rare nowadays I’m changing my mind.

Hi, I`m 99% sure, that the SN begins with 2. As there is a known 2299xxxx batch of 165.024, batton hands, DEC65-FEB66, all delivered to GB or Italy (as far as per my own records)

Sounds highly likely and would be U.K. delivery for this lumed 12 variant.
