    Hey guys, was hoping if i could get the input from all you more experienced collectors on this piece i came across recently, would it be worth picking up this piece? I did notice that one of the pushers seem to be incorrect, but anything else apart from that? The seller acquired this piece from EWC a couple of months back https://www.europeanwatch.com/25877.html

    Also on a side note what's up with the green tinge on the dial?

    All your input would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance!

    I don't like the look of it, i believe that the hands should be unlumed to match the unlumed dial. The existing lume on the dial was added to match those hands.

    I believe that, originally, should look like this:

    I believe I called EWC about this watch, they said it had a lot of issues which is why it sold (not to me) for around 4k.

    Many issues. Wrong pushers, hands, I don't like the ug name overlapping the moon disc, looks like dial has been cleaned or tried to on one side, case heavily polished, date disc... ok that should be enough
