Hmm...a serif-dial Speedy.

Interesting, the flares occur right at the base of the step, possibly where the bonding agent in the original (or re-applied) lume pooled up slightly against the edge? More concerning to me would be the testicals of the 12 marker, which seem a bit wobbly and aspherical...seem more indicative of a re-lume.

I was considering throwing in a bid but now that "big players" 😉 are involved I think I'll throw in the towel. It's a nice piece either way.

never give up! can't hurt to put in your best number via snipe. I've won several items this way i thought would end beyond my reach.

Looking at the high res photos I don't really like how the lume 'oozes' out over the markers when it usually tends to contract on most examples I've seen. Also, though I know there can be normal variation between the dial lume color and that of the handset, the granularity looks very different and is more of a different yellow than just different degrees of shading. I'd pass but it's more because you've all made me into a skeptical misanthrope (for good reason) than anything else. 😒

I tried to bid on this but I can't since I am outside the US. What happens if I have friends ( I know a long shot) in the US that would be willing to ship outside?

I would think you just need to get them to bid?? And hope they don't keep it for themselves [emoji16]

use a proxy vpn to convince eBay you are in US and then bid normally. I use PIA. Alternatively ask seller if he will make an exception.

I was in, but not high enough. The buyer will be very happy with this watch.
