·I would wait for an example that you are happy with. Major flaws are hard to overlook in the long run. Excellent pieces will rise in price more exponentially than the average pieces.
Stupid question: is it better to have a redial or a dial without tritium?

·I'd only caution you to think twice about compromising on things like the dial and bezel. While they may seem tolerable while you're lusting after the watch, but they may wear on you once you own it. Think hard on that..
As a well respected member here has said before, better to buy (or have) an all original though less desirable watch (like a -74) than a more desirable reference with shortcomings.
All that said, for the right price, this could be a great wearable piece.
You summed up perfectly the things I've picked up from this thread. Let's see if the guy accepts my offer, I'll think about it in the meantime !

·But then I'm thinking about it, and if for the same money you can get a correct 68 except the DON vs a correct 74, where one has a much cooler dial than the other, how could you go wrong with the 68?
I wouldn't relume it anyways, it will be original just once.
And yes, I know I'm pedantic, but I can't help myself, I'm French.
