    I would personally snap it up at that price without hesitation.

    I'm not sure that the seconds hand is correct. The shape doesn't look quite right and it is also a different gold colour to the other hands.

    Indeed the second hand looks weird.

    Just buy it ;) If you change your mind, just drop me a PM and you will get your money back versus the watch within 10 minutes :thumbsup:

    Because it’s an important part of the original watch and should be preserved, no matter how much you may think it’s trashed, the next owner is unlikely to agree. Also the buckle is worth something !

    Having had forego importing an almost NOS mid 50's strap with the last UNI I purchased for fear of confiscation by customs, I wholeheartedly agree!

    Yes, you are correct and at night it still has a slight attractive glow.
