    Don't buy it!
    But good luck with the hunt

    It's just an old stretch Spiedel band. I thought it looked pretty good with this one. :)

    My guess is it belonged to a smoker but I've owned a couple of these that turned this color as well. Here's another one I own that used to be silver.

    It might just be the dial lacquer yellowing from UV light.

    I know...But I had it for years and then decided I don't wear it much and it was time to cash out.

    I picked this one up today.
    149.00 62 SC
    Ser. 19349751

    I can't get over the condition.
    Any thoughts on the originality of the bracelet. Not a scratch on it.
    Lume only lasts a few seconds before it fades though....I guess I should consider that validation that the dial is original. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Nothing wrong with the dial
    Probably just been relumed at some point
    Who cares? - it's a lovely watch
    Congratulations
