·I was told by the previous owner that everything is original. Of course that doesn't really guarantee anything as we see...
How big flaw is it considered if the hands are re-lumed? Assuming the sub-seconds hand is original. I guess the hands could be replaced if one happens to come by any original spare hands..
I dont plan to sell this but would be still nice to know if this has any value.

·And I guess if the sub-seconds hand happened to be a replacement part it would be possible to find an original hand and replace it.
As I said, I don't believe, the hand is wrong. It is a tad too short, so it might be broken. But the shape is imho correct.
If you like the watch, leave it like it is.

·Yes. Anything is possible. 😉

·As said above the color of the lume on the hands doesnt match the aged lume on the indices . I would only go for it if the price was pretty low and tempting .

I guess the original lume was radium and during a service it was replaced with something else?
Such a shame really, because the utility of the new lume is close to zero and
still it comes with a cost of breaking the aesthetics and originality.
With a closer inspection of the sub-dial it looks indeed that the tip is broken.
These flaws dont really bother me too much, but I will explore options if I could somehow
find original set of hands with original radium lume and a new subdial hand.

Most probably, your watchmaker can adapt the colour of the hands' lume to the colour of the dial's lume. Would be cheaper and less problematic.
Such a shame really
