Hi all!

I’m extremely tempted to go for this one (depending of price of course!). The problem is that I could not get any more infos on the lume’s reaction to uv light.
From what I see and those pictures, it seems very good and original to me (despite the missing insert)
Is there anything I’m missing? I read lollipop hands were only on 2913-7 but this one is a 2913-6, is that really a thing?
Thanks! 😀

Radium sometimes does not react well to UVs.
Looks nice to me.
Super nice bracelet as well !

Ended up with a pretty strong result.. so I reckon more than a few of us had eyes on it.

Yeah, it stayed low for a very long time…
Considering the price of the bracelet and the condition of the rest, it doesn’t seem « that » high though 😀

In the end, I didn’t even try my luck because the seller never answered any of my questions despite the 3-4 messages sent. Not the best way to build up enough trust to take the leap (and from Mexico…)
Hope the winner is from here and will show it up eventually 😀

Yes I had the same experience with the seller.

That being said I’ve had some pretty good finds from Mexico so it didn’t influence my decision to bid too much.

Sometimes sellers of reasonably rare, unusual and highly collectible models of things would rather deal with fully experienced/educated collectors. These sellers don't want to indulge themselves into educating potential buyers that don't know what they're looking at. They are careful of who they deal with as it's important to choose buyers as well as sellers.

I was just asking about shipping options..

Anyways always best for an eBay seller to answer any questions they may get.

I'm not so sure Ebay is much different from other selling sites when it comes to responding to questions. Some questions are just not worth acknowledging. Even on this forum and other forums mostly populated by reasonably savvy collectors I have had messages asking the most ridiculous questions that are best ignored. For instance, more than I care to remember I have had inquiries whether I was the original owner and had the boxes and papers for watches from the 50's and even older. "Why yes I am the original owner and still have the boxes and papers for those 1930's through 1950's Bulova watches I posted. I'm 127 years old." Granted the worst offenders were the Philippine based sales sites and forums.
