Luck to have one 馃槈
Is that a lume dot next to the date window? Or just glue from the missing index?

Think it only looks like that. Question, is it not possible that a Onyx dial gets a patina?

My thought about the patina was just regarding the lume dot 馃榾
Your dial otherwise looks very well preserved!

It is for sure. Also look at the missing serif on the thicker minute markers.

Possible, I don't know. Bought it from the 2nd owner, told me, the watch is all original.

If it is a redial, it is very good done. I bought it for wearing, so I am fine with that 馃榾

Wow, I've never noticed those serifs on the markers before. Another point to put down on the checking list for authenticity.

This is a redial but I love it all the same.
Merry Christmas to all of you in this wonderful community!

A lume dot

I think it shouldn't, should it? The ones I saw like that had a "short batton" at that place, or else, a hole because they lost it (which that lume dot seems to be hiding).

Other than that, I feel a bit jaleous: that sphere, and the watch overall, is really nice!
