That's the white plot, not a circle like in a minute track dial, sorry I misunderstood the term you used....

Also, for what it’s worth. If the goal was to make the dots orange to appeal to the “patina hunters” imo the actual eggshell natural aging is much more appealing and authentic.

Some of the refusals from Asia come off looking like something out of a nuclear plant.
Hey sergio!
Here is a pic of the watch, bad quality bud the pic was taken by my friend and is untouched. It looks rather nice I'd say...
I feel like it wasn't a relume but they're going to check it under UV.

Bad pic but it does look good. And I assume if anything was really weird he would have seen it. Looks like maybe you got a good one there buddy! Congrats. Also looks like seller is making a good efforrs

Yes, they had lunch together and went to my friend's dealer for inspection.
Seller seems top notch, the watch is nice, refinished case and service insert, apart from that it looks great. I think its a win-win.
Thanks again for the advice guys, especially @Nobel Prize !

Thanks! The seller was pretty positive it's service... What makes you think otherwise ?
Anyhow, it looks cool and the ghosted aspect of it goes well with the overall patina

It may just be a very early service insert.

You’re welcome for my part, it was fun being part of your hunt and it all worked out.

Enjoy the watch!!

The only issue is that... it's not my watch !

I was really just helping out a friend. Hope to see it in person sooner than later, I'll take decent pictures !
