Hi all!

Came across this little thing and quite like it! Don't know too much about this model, so started looking around a bit. Cannot find any version with a red second hand and black/beige 24 hour hand. Usually red second hand seems to go with red/black 24 hour hand. What do you think? Can this still be correct?

All the colors have faded. The springbar guides are good for basics.

Correct, the checkered hand for sure was black and red 50 years ago, but faded with time or discolored due to moisture. The internal bezel and date wheel also seems to be affected by moisture and the lume on the dials looks odd.

Thanks Nico! Agree it seems there is some kind of discolorarion or moisture damage. It's one of the things that makes me think I should pass on it and keep my eyes open for another one, but they are not super common so...

The lugs look pretty soft as well. If you're looking for subjective opinions, this example doesn't appeal to me.

Both subjective and objective opinions are welcome Think it might be the picture/angle. Have a few more shots and it looks sharp from better angles.

Did you buy it?

Nope. Hesitating a bit. The "patina" is maybe putting me off a bit. Not sure where to go on this one. Not fully up to speed on these even on the value side, but price seems quite ok.
