    Hi again,

    Another question for the guru's . Just seen this 105.003 on the net and wondered what the glossy marks on dial maybe ? Could it be some sort of glue ?

    I do know the chrono hand is not quite correct, just slightly later than it should be but not too shabby looking.

    Perhaps a clumsy attempt to mask wear on the dial using a sharpie?

    That's a thought. I have just read a recent post in September asking about glossy marks on a -71, could be an attempt to clean with a solution that went wrong ! Dial does look a bit brown , possibly old rust , can see some blistering around the 1 o'clock area as well
