·Is there no automatic rotor? If not, I think it would work as a manual wind watch just fine, but pay accordingly. Also, don't expect it to be waterproof without having a watchmaker test it to verify. (By the way, the dial looks okay to me, but my eye is not well trained)

·To my eye, the dial looks original with a fair reasonable patina. Cheers

·I was thinking how much I would like a black dial, then I realized my first and second favorite watches (the speedmaster and chronostop) have black dials.

·Black dials can be a blessing or a curse in my opinion, you definitely have to find a watchmaker that either never touches black dials, or have experience caressing black dials, example: https://www.instagram.com/roberto.tarabella_watchmaker/
He lifts 2/10's to 8/10's, but it's all dark magic

·The dial itself looks original to me. Did the hands lose their lume? If not the dial maybe have been relumed as the hands have aged to a much darker shade than lume plots which does happen naturally sometimes but they look awfully white in that one photo.

I agree, the lume plots put me off.

·That lettering looks soft to me but that could be whatever the heck is eating that dial.
