Omega Speedmaster 105.012-64, dial issues....

I'm eager for the real pros to weigh in, but the lume plot goo plus the rust (?) on the hands sure look like not much good will be found inside the case. Has the seller provided movement shots?

Should you walk away? Depends on the price!

It’s certainly a candidate for a relume and it will improve matters. How much depends on overall condition which is hard to judge from those photos. What I mean by that is the best relume candidates have a nice dial body colour but poor lume. On the other hand often when the lume is poor, the dial body is also tired, dry or degraded and on these examples although a good relume will help, it will still look very average due to the general dial condition.

On your photos it’s hard to judge which category this dial falls into

I guess it's a matter of price. The dial an hands definitely need some attention but wouldn't be a downer for me.
Dials can be saved if they are in the right hands. Here is a before and after of a very oily and badly scratched up 105.003 dial of mine that i restored recently.
