    Movement looks ok.
    Case is polished.
    Dial original and ok - textured nice touch.
    Hands not original to the watch and are later replacement - should have lume like the dial.
    Seller's description as "near mint" is exaggerated.

    What do you mean by lume? On the dial?

    It's bid up to $2000. Bit OTT?

    That dial has lume and the hands do not - the hands should have lume also.
    Price as it stands is not bad for the watch.

    Looks like a nice one to me, but I'm a sucker for textured dials ;)

    I would say the hands are original, only the centers have been painted instead of re-lumed.

    That's possible but we can't be sure.

    The "photos" are not particularly good; Bill actually uses a scanner for some reason. I am never sure about his watches, thusly (though I have bought a few from him in the past).

    Yes, the bent second hand that is an artefact the scanning time has become a signature feature of his Ebay listings.
