no expert,
but i honestly think its so hard to tell with the age and differing conditions a watch could have been exposed to in its lifetime. unless you are buying a piece for the sake of a financial estate in NOS or superb collectible condition. I dont think the lume holds much value as opposed to a good dial, bezel, case, and movement. its just too hard to tell and people get too caught up in it. if it speaks to you get it, if it doesnt then pass. i went through this same debate with my Speedmaster
that's my two cents
