Original Lume on a Calendar? Never seen before

BenBagbag · Jan 18, 2022

I haven't been around forever but have never seen this lume on a dial before but it doesn't strike me as terribly incorrect. Wondering if perhaps it was applied after the fact and fitted with new hands (original would have had onyx insert). Either way clean job and interesting to see. Anyone think this may be factory-original?

FWIW comes with an omega slide clasp BOR so if you think all original price may be right all in for about 1k with offers accepted...

What the hell is this sorcery?

Out damned spots. With apologies to the Bard.

To me, your notion that the lume and hands were added makes sense. Still quite a nice watch, but a little pricey IMHO.

uh... the lume has been added? the hour hand rubs on it and leaves nasty black marks

Slide clasp suggests Jacoby-Bender was the OEM for that bracelet. Got no clue about the lume dots.
